I suppose I will add a dummy ability to call for.

Would it be any easier if I made resource extractors upgradable to Monoliths?



As to Phased Weapons Level 5, no it will not handle prerequisites. If it is not a "legal" research item (i.e. you do not have all of the preq., it will skip it until such time as you do have the preq.). So you still need both calls.

Upgrading extractors could work. I for one think that makes logical sense to know extractor 2/3 tech before I am able to combine them all into one facility. Obviously, they key is to leave the existing facility queues alone (if you can) and tweak the tech levels/facility production stats to get the desired effect.
