Default Finding tech tree

I wanted to know ALL techs for my AI design. So I started a high tech game with display tech tree and exported to files. It is Wonderful! All the techs laid out in proper order with dependencies given. Now what I would REALLY like is to have the tech COSTS given for low/ medium/ high too. That should not be much work...

Anybody else want to lobby for this change ?

Search the mod utility downloads board; I'm pretty sure someone has already done something like this.

Default Re: Finding tech tree

I downloaded the design cheatsheat, the weapons report that gives costs, and the one that listed family numbers. They are all useful, but what I want is for MM to provide a very modest amount of information needed by modders when designing the research tree.

Also it would be useful to have the abilities given at the start of each facility/ component series. There is no need to repeat for each Version II,III etc, just on the first.

Also I would really like to have the bLasted weapon family number given on the same report, now that I have looked at the vehicle design file. Using a number rather than a name is annoying, but my workaround right now is to printout the family number file and write the required techs with costs down on each of the weapons. Somebody who has programming tools could generate all the information I need with just a few hours work....
