Odd Racial/Unique Tech Reqs

[Fyron]

High-tech starts aren't much fun anyways.

I suggest playing a mid-tech start but modding the rest of the tech levels to give you full access to the rest of the technology from that starting place.

Huh?

Edit the techareas.txt and change "RaiseLevel" to "Max Level" for everything except for the tech areas which you don't want to start off with.
Then start with a mid-tech game.
That should sort it.
Sorry for the confusing reply

I don't want to start with them, or play a high-tech start game. I was just testing other high-tech components.

I would say this, a high tech start certainly is a completely different game.... Having finished very few games of SEIV, I haven't seen most of the finished techs anyway. I've got no idea what to do with them all!

OK: OA requires "organic armor" which requires "Organic technology" (Racial).

In a high tech game, you get "organic armor" but it dosen't show up... but where?

It won't show up in your research window, since it is a Type B, and you cannot research this tech area.
It should appear as an option for trade, and it should appear in your help, available components, political report, and everywhere else.

If you were to make it a Type C tech, then it would show up in your research window.

Note:
Type A = Racial
Type B = non racial, racial prereq
Type C = not racial, non racial prereq, pre-prerequisites do not matter.

hey, thats a good idea. i have often wished racial techs could be captured or shared, and i think other people have too.

SJ, Organic Armor doesn't show up in the research window, but the components are available to be built.
