Rectified Technology bug: set it back onto 5 levels instead of 7. I assumed the game engine was going to play nice and accept the 7 levels, but indeed research could not be done past level 5.

- Some stations got a visual revamp.
- The 4 planets around Nema got new high res textures
- The Dora cockpit was moved to a more appropriate place.

I'm playing thi!s game in 'sandbox' mode with the HR Fanmod linked above, where you can skip the Pendulum quest.

I'll see if I can research beyond level 5 here.

You need to go to Helium Rain savegame folder. On Windows, it will be Users/[user]/AppData/Local/HeliumRain/saved/SaveGames

Find save file (SaveSlot1.json, SaveSlot2.json etc)
Open it with any text editor (I'm using Visual Studio Code, but anything will work)

Search for "UnlockedTechnologies". In my case it looks like this:

"UnlockedTechnologies": [
"advanced-stations",
"dense-sectors",
"fast-travel",
"automated-trading",
"bombing",
"auto-docking",
"metallurgy",
"science",
"instruments",
"mining",
"stations",
"chemicals",
"pirate-tech",
"shipyard-station",
"orbital-pumps",
"early-warning"
]

Anything You put in here will be researched next time You load the savegame.

Unfortunately I do not have complete tech list, but at least above should allow You to complete Pendulum questline.

how do you do the workaround?

Yeah, same here.

I've looked at save game file (gzipped .json, so it's easily readable), and there's no info about research level. So I guess that game computes "level" by total number of research used (and t caps at 5).


As a workaround, You can manually add researched techs ("advanced-stations" in this case) so there's a way to build foundries, tokamaks and complexes.

Devinw188, seems the case with my game too. Probably game limits to max 5 levels as level should increase by each researched technology

Loving Everything so far! I am having the same issue as Kajanov though, I can't seem to figure out how gain tech levels past 5?

kajanov, mods work only for Windows versions. Force proton on Linux.

Thanks a lot fo r the mod. Really enjoying it, however, how do you unlok tech past level 5?
I have all the techs up-to level 5 and can't research anything elese?
If it's the pendulum quest, how are you supposed to get electrtonics for it (as they are locked under the L7 advanced stations tech)?

Thank you for making these beauties here. It is one of my favourite relaxing space games, where you don't need to build a mega empire

I'm so glad to see that this game, in which the dev's have poured their hearts in, gets some well deserved love from the modders too :)

it was such a cool game and I'm glad to see someone spending the time to make mods for it!

Glad you like it :-)

Nice! Thanks for adding extra ships :)
