- Tech tree contains techs, each of which has
|
|||
|
|
- discovery requirement - what conditions are required to allow an empire to even know this tech exists?
|
|||
|
|
- unlock requirement - what conditions are required to allow an empire to unlock this tech?
|
|||
|
|
- activation cost - how much it costs to "activate"
|
|||
|
|
- upkeep - how much per time unit it costs to keep the tech activated
|
|||
|
|
- deactivation requirement - some techs may not be able to be deactivated
|
|||
|
|
- deactivation cost - how much it costs to deactivate
|
|||
|
|
- unlike in stellaris, resource allocation for tech tree items is not discrete, but you can allocate "research funds" to different projects
|
|||
|
|
- also allow for auto-picking research projects based on prioritized fields of study
|
|||
|
|
- for ex. if "voidcraft" is prioritized, projects related to voidcraft will be picked for funding
|
|||
|
|
- no bullshit rolling for tech system
|
|||
|
|
- Unlock structure
|
|||
|
|
- You get 1 or maybe 2 layers “for free” – this is the stuff scientists are “obviously working on”
|
|||
|
|
- With culture / arts / sci-fi authors, you can occasionally see really long-term techs (e.g.
|
|||
|
|
Dyson Spheres), and work towards them
|
|||
|
|
- Maybe make this pretty hard, so you’ll only have 1 or 2 “star trek techs” unlocked, but you get a research speed buff for working towards them
|
|||
|
|
- Maybe have *some* rare techs gated on the same mechanism, so for some techs (balance
|
|||
|
|
carefully!) you might not ever unlock them?
