Rube Goldberg tech - what is it?

It is so you can have dud ruins that give no techs. If you have a ruin with no tech level, the ruins icon does not show up on the planet, so you can immediately spot duds. Adds some spice to the game.

funny stuff.

I think I'm going to have to do something like that in my mod, but you will get something out of it. It'll just be something insanely useless.

a weapon that does 0 damage? an engine that gives 0 movement? 0 is such a nice number...
how about:
Rube Goldberg structure: decreases to-hit by 10% (lots of useless gadgets) but also decreases ECM bonus (where the hell would you shoot with all that stuff?) OR act as armor that reduces to-hit by 1% with every component. or whatnot

I have the same idea in Adamant, just not Rube Goldberg.

Hopefully our idea will spread further and make it's way into all mods.
