Technology Screen Zoom Out Fix [1.0.10]
Removes the weird Symbols when zooming out in Technology Screen.
Took a File from Glorps UI Mod and vibecoded with AI to make these UI Widgets disappear in Technology / Advances screen.
Compatible with Glorp UI – Beta 1.0.10
Load "Glorp UI – Beta 1.0.10" before "Technology Screen Zoom Out Fix".
May be compatible with other Mods or Standalone, haven’t tested it.
Probaply won’t update this, someone else please take the torch and maybe give a small shoutout. 🙂
If you want to use the code for your UI Mod yourself, heres an AI description how to do it.
How to Apply the Change
Open your technology_lateralview.gui file (or the equivalent in your UI mod) and search for the following lines containing ShowSimplifiedVersion(TechnologyLateralView.Self). There are exactly five occurrences – modify them as shown below:
Researched simplified version
Find:
visible = "[And(AdvanceNode.GetItem.IsOwned, AdvanceNode.ShowSimplifiedVersion(TechnologyLateralView.Self))]"
Change to:
visible = "no"
Current research simplified version
Find:
visible = "[And3(Not(AdvanceNode.GetItem.IsOwned), AdvanceNode.GetItem.IsCurrentResearch, AdvanceNode.ShowSimplifiedVersion(TechnologyLateralView.Self))]"
Change to:
visible = "no"
Not owned / not current research simplified version
Find:
visible = "[And3(Not(AdvanceNode.GetItem.IsOwned), Not(AdvanceNode.GetItem.IsCurrentResearch), AdvanceNode.ShowSimplifiedVersion(TechnologyLateralView.Self))]"
Change to:
visible = "no"
Researched detailed version (optional – ensures it always shows)
Find:
visible = "[And(AdvanceNode.GetItem.IsOwned, Not(AdvanceNode.ShowSimplifiedVersion(TechnologyLateralView.Self)))]"
Change to:
visible = "[AdvanceNode.GetItem.IsOwned]"
Not owned detailed version (optional – ensures it always shows)
Find:
visible = "[And(Not(AdvanceNode.GetItem.IsOwned), Not(AdvanceNode.ShowSimplifiedVersion(TechnologyLateralView.Self)))]"
Change to:
visible = "[Not(AdvanceNode.GetItem.IsOwned)]"
The first three changes are required to hide the small icon-only versions.
The last two are recommended for consistency, but the mod will work without them.
Result
Technology names and effects remain fully readable no matter how far you zoom out.
The tree may look busier at minimum zoom, but you’ll never lose the information again.
Enjoy your clearer tech tree!
