Specific tech research bonus

July 23, 2015 8:08:42 AM from Galactic Civilizations III ForumsGalactic Civilizations III Forums

hi all!

is there a way to make a trait to give research bonuses to specific techs on a races' tree?

for example giving a bonus to all Beam research or terraforming rather than to All research?

im working away and can't look at the files myself at the moment which is annoying!

Nope nothing of that sort in the game code.

Ah nuts - back to the drawing board with that idea! Thanks!

You could add a tech that improved their beam weapons and make it specific to their tree. I realize it is a kludge but it would simulate the effect of them researching it faster.

That might work with what I've got planned but I wanted a nerf as well as a bonus to make the 3 custom races I've got brewing that more unique - thanks for the tip and that's my weekend planned after work!

Well if you are doing custom races with custom tech tree's you can simply tune the costs of every tech specifically for that race.

I assumed you wanted something that gave like +15% bonus to weapons research or somesuch.

Yeah something along those lines I just havnt looked at custom tech trees too intensely so far - wanted to give a bonus to research of all kinetic weapons and nerf to research of all beam weapons for example. I didn't want it just for weapons but thought it could lead to some very unique traits/tech trees for custom races.

I was mainly curious if this could be modded after seeing your Galactic Diversity Custom Traits mod on nexus deathwynd! I will be taking a break from the race creation tomorrow to try out yours and gauntlets mods together!

Yeah unfortunately there is no tech tree agnostic way of changing specific tech costs like with a trait.

But with a bit of judicious find/replace you should be able to pretty readily turn any existing tech tree into one for your custom race, and then it'll just be a matter of tweaking your costs.
