Ok, minor brain freeze there, I forgot the racial facility had to have more points to be chosen by the AI for the homewolrd. But the idea was really more about giving them something usefull to augment their lack of resaerch anyway. So the idea is still valid. You would have to modify the resaerch txt file to make them ressearch stupid stuff, or even add a do nothing tech area for them to waste their points on. Then give them a racial research fac that has +1 research points and also generates resources.

Mainly I was trying to avoid having to modify all the other AI. I would only want to have to change the neutrals. So I was trying to stay away from making research require a racial trait.
