OK, I've just played a test game and it worked like a dream. Excellent work QR!
I immediately met the Clukruk, who were steam-tech. They didn't want any of my uplift tech, so I invaded them (

) and was immediately repulsed by over 3000 infantry! Cool!
Their homeworld was looking good as well, with a bunch of interesting new facilities.
Now... how about some more "primitive" techs for them? Airships & early firearms for steam, hunting implements and mounted warriors for dirt etc etc. Ideas anyone?
