Research Cost for Pop/Planet reduced (Does not work with 1.2.0+)

=== This mod does not work with the latest Stellaris Patch 1.2.0 - Since this mod is still subscribed to I will leave it up for now, but as I no longer play Stellaris it will not be updated any time soon, sorry! ===


I felt that the research penalties for doing well in the game and expanding were a little harsh.

1.1 Clarke helped, but taking a massive research penalty for colonizing planets still seemed a bit much.

This mod simply halves the default values from:

10% / Planet

to

5% / Planet

and

1% / Population

to

0.5% / Population

These changes shouldn't affect the AI because as far as I know the AI cheats and its tech research isn't affected by population anyway!
