Tier 3 = 30 points
Tier 4 = 40 Points
Tier 5 = 50 Points
Primarily chose technologies that I usually wanted right away, and that make exploration / resource extraction much easier.
Prudent Positions / Antimatter Channeling was really the one that inspired me to make this mod. I always hated I couldn’t tell my fleets "STAY AT LONG RANGE!!"
Inspired by Arkon mods but I wanted to have a choice as to which techs to start with vs "all / most".
Thanks to the "More Traits" mod for supplying a lot of the base logic/xml structure.
You can use my "Unlimited Trait Count" if you want to have more traits than 8.
You can use "Sandbox Mod" if you want to have more points to buy traits with.
(I wanted this mod to possibly be balanced by itself without cheat mods)
Let me know if there are other techs you’d like to see in the list.
