Technology Costs Rescaled

Description
The way technology costs scale in Stellaris is... weird. It takes years to unlock the first few technologies, but by the time you hit tier 5 you're clearing out techs every couple of months. This mod seeks to address that.

What this mod does:
1) Tier 1 Techs are half as expensive
2)Tier 2 Techs are the same cost as vanilla
3) Tier 3 Techs are twice as expensive as vanilla
4) Tier 4 Techs are three times as expensive as vanilla
5) Tier 5 Techs are four times as expensive as vanilla

Compatibility: Should be compatible with anything that doesn't change the costs of vanilla technologies.

Works with 3.7?

Exactly what I've been looking for, thank you!

Thank you to @Mial42 for making and maintaining this awesome mod, and to @陈以恒 for the ESC/ACOT version!

This mod still works, but if you have ESC/ACOT I've posted a version that rescales their extra tech tier costs as well:

Yeah, this seems like the most logical way to handle tech scaling.Weird how this idea hasn't caught on.

This should still work from what I can tell. It's just one file changing some numbers

I really enjoyed this mod, does anyone know if it still works with 3.3/3.4?

Ok, thanks for the info.

@Botroas

In my experience, they can handle it just as well as vanilla, but it depends on how much you min-max and your difficulty settings (even GA can't keep up with technocracy-synth tech rush).

Hi! Thanks for this mod.
It bothered me too, when the unreasonably fast research speed from middle-game kicked in.
You mentioned using StarNet yourself, can you please tell me, in your experience, can AI handle the higher research numbers? Wont they fall back too much?

Gonna try this out.
