Tech Tree Discussion

I really think bringing Azure back is not the best of ideas.

Then again, I'm not involved with this mod so what do I know?

I have tried for months now, but he does NOT respond or anyone that was working with him, sorry:blush:
 
@Vokarya

I talked with Praetyre in the other thread. And he suggested we move Raft building earlier and Canine Domestication later. To make a long story short please change the following ...

Raft Building
Req Techs: Simple Wood Working AND Binding
Location: x10 Y5

Canoe Building
Req Techs: Trap Fishing AND Raft Building AND Tanning AND Carpentry

Thanks in advance! :goodjob:

Question: Canoe Building or Boat Building? Canoe Building is not a tech as far I am aware.
 
Sorry I ment Boat Building. Its when the Canoe unit is unlocked. Sorry for the confusion.

No problem, just checking. I'm working my way through the Modern/Transhuman changes now; I'm updating all my spreadsheets as I go, so it's fairly painstaking work at this point. I'm not sure how far I can get by the end of this weekend.

Thats OK , just take your time, and get it the way YOU want it, ok. thx.
 
It's finally done and committed to SVN. I finished the tweaks of the Modern Era and up.

This got the most reworking, as I tried to keep the technologies in historical order.

Galactic Era:
View attachment 341014

I tried not to do very much here, as I really don't understand this era very well. I mostly moved things over to make room on the tree for spreading out the Modern and Transhuman Eras. The early techs got moved 5 columns over, then I compressed a very large gap in the center of the era and moved the later techs only 3 columns. I didn't even try to do a new cost scheme.

This is all on the SVN now, so please let me know if I missed anything. Otherwise, I'm finished.
 
Well done Vokarya! You've again gifted us all with your very professional level expertise and analysis skills. Thank you! Our mod is better for your contributions and always will be.
 
Yes Vokarya,
Even if you just have to stay to give advice for a while, please keep it up, you are most awesome and appreciated!

With your help C2C will quickly reach the next level of wow!
 
I just wanted to post a updated thread on technologies that are predicted to be the the immediate horizon. Hopefully you will find some of these useful.

These are used by businesses to anticipate near-future trends.
 
@Vokarya

As far as I can tell it looks good. :D Thanks a TON for doing this.

EDIT: Where did Motor Sports get moved to? I assume maybe like near where the Prohibition Rum Runner were.

EDIT2: Is Advanced Molecular Biology new?

Motor Sports is an Industrial Era tech now. Location X62 Y17 (just below Mass Transit, right next to Motorized Transportation).

Advanced Molecular Biology is the tech originally known as Neurotechnology. I'm fairly sure it's one of the Azure techs, but that was what we settled on as a name. I think we rolled a couple of technologies together into that one.
 
Couple of Minor questions for ya (see screenies) thx.

Good catch on Supersonic Rails. It doesn't currently lead to anything. Does anyone have any ideas what it should lead to? I think Megastructure Engineering is the best bet, but if anyone has a better idea, I can go with that.

Regarding Asteroid Mining: Did you update your Text files folder? There's a new text file for that tech. It works just fine on my version. (Apparently, there are files for an Asteroid Mining tech in one of the ATOM text files, but I like mine better.)
 
@Vokarya:

Really good job on all of this, I'm really sorry that you are leaving. Feel free to come back anytime, your work is always appreciated. :goodjob:

Ditto . . . SO

1. Cool thanks.

2. Ah ok. I must have never added it to my online tech tree. Good thing you were going over these again.
