Long time reader, first time poster.
I've been playing Civ 1 pretty much non stop for the last 30 years. Lately I've been obsessed with trying to get a space victory in as few turns as possible. My best is 1560BC, but I know people have done much better. The tricky bit has always been working out the tech paths. I used to keep a spreadsheet where I'd list out the shortest route to things like Space Flight, Democracy, or Railroads. It worked, but honestly it got really tedious doing it over and over.
So I ended up throwing together a Civ 1 Tech Tree Advances Selector: https://domaa11.github.io/civ1-tech-tree-advances-selector/.
You just pick a tech and it spits out the exact prerequisites in the right order. You can shuffle things around too, and it'll update automatically. Basically saves me from constantly redrawing the tree or double-checking what leads to what.
Figured I'd share it here in case anyone else finds it handy. Would love to hear if it's useful, or if you've got ideas for making it better.
