Slower Research
Research takes longer than normal. Ideal for players that like a slower pace to the game, or an increased difficulty level that makes surviving events and disasters an even greater challenge. Configurable to choose the desired slowdown in the research rate (1.25x, 1.5x, 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 10x).
Although this mod makes no changes to research buildings, it effectively makes them more important than normal, since having a large number of them in operation may be needed to move forward in the technology tree to any significant degree. Helps to avoid the "runaway research" problem in the mid to late game, where research points are accumulated so quickly that discovering new technologies becomes trivial.
