Try reducing the number of tech points by tens, see what happens?

Keep the starting points in the low 9 digit range to be safe from overflows.

Will this have an effect on the total game? I'm kind of into this one and I'd like to see it play out. But not if it'll most likely crash somewhere down the line.

The starting techs were set long long ago on the first turn, and that specific thing won't have any effects on an ongoing game aside from certain races being more advanced.
