And one other thing, why does 4-d come so late if we already know about it now (should be late modern or early trans-human instead)?
@Hydromancerx, in your original post you forgot giant and supergiant for star size and you forgot mass effect relays for propulsion.
Otherwise very cool looking!!!![]()
they are a sort of "giant cannons" that allow ship to travel very fast across different solar systems; they are a basic part of the Mass Effect universe
Take a look at this url if u want to know more

@Hydromancerx, what would tessaracking be considered? Folding or creasing? Just out of curiousity for real life discoveries in recent time.
MORE a 4X Space Game curent on Kickstarter came up with a interesting idea how to reduce the Micromanagemant.
They let a player bundle all Planets ect in a Starsystem to a Dysonsphere as soon you researched it.
I think this is a interesting idea how to handle the Galaxy part of this Mod to allow the player/npc bundle some cluster to a biger managemant system as soon one have the tech, the resources and most important is the only race in this cluster.

...I just realized something...the moment man figures out a way to travel trough time safely, technological progress effectively stops. You effectively know the entire tech tree from that point onward, and the onward is a maybe, as your nation's history has immediately turned completely non-linear, as your nation is garenneeted to send agents back in time to insure events played out the way they did...which would mean in universe, YOU ARE THIS AGENCY...I've already had a few 'bundling' features in mind since the AToM project started, but I was thinking of a filtering system. You can filter out all the mining sites across the galaxy or just sects of a galaxy or sites with a specific star type, etc. and have all those have a custom made building queue that would be carried out autonomously. So for example you want just the mining sites of binary solar systems to have building queue A while the terroidal planet sites with white stars of galaxy sect ZZ plural Z alpha have building queue B.

Tessaracting is under the other name Transverse Euclidean Geometry (more old-school terms). However TEG (like space folding) is a gifted technology from your future selves after discovering the time travel technology. As neither of those technologies can actually exist through 3-dimensional means, I thought it would be clever to add them through a temporal loophole.
So, does that mean the original universe was the first game of civ played in all of the franchise's history?@Daedwartin
That's why its almost at the end of the tech tree and is key to the scientific victory (aka Ascension Gates). Thus the irony is you can know every tech, but you already researched every tech (well almost every tech).
Basically the end game has 2 options.
1. You leave this plane of existence through an Ascension Gate.
OR
2. You leave this universe in a Dimension Ship.
Personally I think this is a good metaphor for starting up a new game.![]()

This era sounds AMAZING but is it still in progress or is it a sub-mod out now?

I was thinking there should be a new tech in the late-transhuman era.
The standard unit of time is not universal, but rather subjective and can only be observed in perspective and the same could be said for the speed of light. Photons can only reach up to 301,000 km/s, however if you were to reach 99.999% speed of light, photons would still be 301,000 km/s faster than you. This means that you are only moving at 99.999% speed of light by perspective. So this means that everything around you is subjectively moving at 99.999% speed of light in the opposite direction. Your unit of seconds is now equivalent to Earth's unit of decades. As light moves directly with time, photons have a temporally, infinitely fast velocity. This outcome, however, is unacceptable to any physicist. There needs to be some unit that is non-dimensional i.e. Planck units. Planck units are constant no matter how much the space-time continuum bends and as such would become widely accepted and practiced for any future technology that tries to test the boundaries of nature starting from something so minor as time dilation.
Subjectively, the Planck unit of time is 5.4 × 10^-44 seconds. Objectively the two are impossible to compare as Planck units are linearly constant across all boundaries of the dimensions whereas seconds bend to fit space.
The tech could be called Planck Algebra and would be required by many time, velocity, energy and mass - oriented technologies.
