I don't get why people post comments like that dude.

It's the entire principle of modding, you do this because you don't like what the base game is.

If this mod in particular doesn't appeal to you, move on.

Some people like to mod stuff to balance the game the way they like, other people like to mod their game to replace paragon images with big titty goth women, I find that thing ridiculous, what do I do? I don't use that mod, it's that simple, what I don't do is go out of my way to post shit on that mod's page.

Seriously >.<

Lil late to the party there, fella. Also, I take it "personal preference" is a strange concept to you.

IDK why ppl making mods like these. U have traits and perks which increase your research alternatives. Using that kind of mod ruins your game expierence.
And why only 6 more research alternatives, make it 10 or 20 - there is no difference.

Thanks for the updoots, fellers. The mod itself just changes two lines of code, so I imagine it'll persist through any update as long as nothing overhauls research

4.0 still fine

Somehow, this mod still functions perfectly well as of 3.8.

I love the mod! I use it with ST: New Horizons. Is it going to be update soon?

I'm so glad they never changed how that works. :D

V2.81: Working! I get a total of 8 options for science

I'd also appreciate knowing that.

What about 2.7.x?

Nice, thank you Omega~

Can confirm that this mod still works quite well in 2.6.3.

love the mod, love it more when it shows as updated

Yea, yea, I know. XD I'm a busy man, but I promise I'll get to it!

Just tested a few research tiers and it seems to work fine without any issues in 2.0.1 It would be nice to get the warning flag cleared from the mod though.

Thank you!!!

It does, my buddy had checked for me. It's actually why I'm not in a rush to update yet.

Does anyone know if this works with 2.0? Thanks!

I might. Odds are very high the mod will work regardless of whether I change that version number or not, so I'll likely update whenever I have spare time. If the mod stops working, though, things might get fun.

Last "update" Nov 6th, 2017... will you update it when 2.0 drops to keep it current with the game at that stage?

If you need direct chat, I'm on Discord and Steam, so message me whenever. If I'm around, I can help out. : D

it would be possible to discuss that via direct-chat then the whole thing is faster. Can I get you into the FL in time?

but what I have is a mod folder where your mod is in it. However, your mod as a MOD file in it and apparently can Notepad ++ do nothing with it. At least I can not change any values

That is definitely a bit weird. Try searching your computer for a folder with the number "775051652"? See if it'll find the right folder.

ok, there we already have the first problem. I do not even own the folder workshop. what i basically do not understand because I currently use 5 mods from this

ok give me time. i can't good englisch is all from translator. i am german but is not a problem for me

@Eisklinge: I absolutely can! Buckle up though, it's a bit of a trip.

First, you'll navigate to "C:\Users\<Your Username Here>\Documents\Paradox Interactive\Stellaris\workshop\content\281990".

You'll notice there's a TON of folders here, but they're all numbers. You'll want to find a folder with the number "775051652", that will be my Research Boost mod.

Inside should be the named .zip file. In there are the raw files you can edit. Before starting, it's important to note that Steam MIGHT redownload the "correct" version of my mod if it sees a change. So this isn't guaranteed to work. What you CAN do is see how the mod is made in the first place, and probably make your own based off of that.

In the .zip file, you'll see more folders. You want to go into "common" -> "defines", and the file in there is what you'll edit. It will either be a .lua or a .txt, both can be opened in any text editor. All you gotta do is change that "6" to any number you like.

I need more.
6 is too little. I want full control over the already available research opportunities. can you tell me how or better with which I can set the value "6" higher?

Thank you! :)

He hasn't experienced the glory that is actual choices in research, has he? Ah well. Lemme go ahead and whip up a lighter version for ya!

Say, it wouldn't be possible to make a "lighter" version of this mod with only 2 research alternatives, would it? Trying to convince a mate to add this to our heavily modded multiplayer game where the amount of new techs is severely affecting my progress, but he think 3 extra alternatives is too much of a cheat...

Far as I can tell, it will work with any mod that doesn't change the research NUMBERS. It will work with anything otherwise.

I do know it works with NSC's stuff, I use it myself. Then there's the other 50-some mods we use because my gaming group is neurotic (LOVE YOU GUYS THOUGH).

Does this work with most mods then? Your description seems to imply that; its exactly the same reason I'm looking for a similar mod; I've been wanting to play around with an evil-empire-turtling game using NCS's extra options for defense stations (as well as a few similar mods), and its a real pain to just have to HOPE I get the right techs - more alternatives would keep things relatively balanced but give me more options to get ahead of the defense game.

Lol, thank you on both counts.

i like your pic, Vergial.



oh the mod's okay too c:

I fully share that enthusiasm.

woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Mod is functional again.

It's POSSIBLE, definitely, but that's beyond my level of expertise (which is to say: novice).

Tech that add a single research alternative works(Self-Aware Logic), so is it possible to add in a really early low cost tech for it or as a starting tech?

Okay, so both of my mods seem to have stopped working. I THINK it's a problem on Paradox's end, as their Defines file isn't allowing overwrites for some reason (which is how my mods worked in the first place).

I've tried a few changes, nothing worked yet, and I don't have time to go looking for answers just yet, so I'll work on that another day. For now, the mod will be quiet until I figure this out, or until Paradox fix/explain what changed.

Mod ain't dead though. I'll update it as soon as I'm able to.

You are most welcome!

this mod is awsome thank you

Merci !

Done and done.

GOD I wish Steam didn't butcher my description every time I updated.

new update pls

HAHAH. Updated on time this time!
