If you wish more tech, you can always make it yourself, and mod it to the game. If you do, let me know.



Infinite is enough. Not infinite is not good enough. I'm not talking infinite items but rather infinite refinement of existing items. The more you research an area, the smaller the items get.

From a programmer's perspective, either the game engine supports changing the size of a component or it doesn't. Maybe hard, maybe not. It depends on the original game design.

I just hate that the game at some point stops and says: Okay. Once you've researched how to build a computer that can calculate rocket trajectories that fits in a single building, you stop. I want instead for the game to let me keep researching until such a computer sits on my desk.

Thanks for the offer. You can bet I'll take you up on it. Although, I may just try to spend some time documenting what other folks have done. It would be hard to match the creativity of the tons of folks whose Posts I've read!
