Technological Rediscovery

Designed to reorder and improve the vanilla research tree.

The entire tree was removed and rebuilt, the primary idea behind the reconstruction is that all technologies can be classified by whether they are inherently Military of Sociopolitical in nature. After deciding that, it is then decided whether they are metallurgical (engineering, mining, construction, etc) or Energetic (Energy production / use, FTL and Ionization are prime examples). Using these two classifications, I graphed out the research nodes and (hopefully) increased the number of decisions that must be made by elongating and seperating certain types of improvements: for example, if you go down Energetics some you will find a crossroad that leads to very high FTL Storage versus very high inherent production.
The megastructures are more or less situated in one of the four corners, making it unlikely you would get all 4 in one game without an incredible amount of research. Some are easier to get than others but that may change.
Feedback is always welcome.
