Tech Advancing

Description
This mod advances the Tech-level of the colony once certain conditions are met. Even including rules that can be customized.
Also allows you to:

• Scale the cost of all techs
• Scale the cost of techs that are above your techlevel
• Apply a discount for techs that are below your techlevel

All those features are customizable too!

When does the Techlevel get improved?

Once one of the two Conditions(either A or B) is fulfilled:
Condition A: If you researched all projects of techlevel X and below , then the techlevel rises to X+1
Condition B: If you researched more than 50% of the projects with the techlevel Y, then the techlevel rises to Y


How to install:

Subscribe to this mod.
Rimworld should now download the mod.
Go to the Mods menu, and enable Tech-Advancing.

You can configure the whole mod by accessing the configuration-menu. You can open the menu by clicking on the config button below the research-progress-bar. Alternatively you can access it through the mod-options menu.

If you have any questions, please read the full FaQ on the forum post linked below. (You can find a small FaQ at the bottom of this description)

Version history (changelog), alternative downloads, license, and other things are located in the forum post liked below.

FaQ (the most important questions):

Q: Is this mod compatible with existing saves?
A: Yes it is.

Q: How can I contact you?
A: You can either look for GHXX#9078 on discord, or leave a comment here. Alternatively you could send me a PM on the ludeon forums.

Q: Does this mod work with X and Y?
A: Try it and let me know if it doesn't. I simply cannot try every mod combination, but as far as I know there shouldn't be any incompatibilities.

Thanks to azrazalea theres now some more cusotmization options, such as TA not affecting techs with techlevel Undefined (i.e anomaly), or speciifc tabs that you can select in the config menu on the second tab. Should all be compatible with previous versions, though you may notice that the anomaly techs no longer have a discounted cost. If you want to restore the old behaviour, go to the second tab and uncheck the second one of the checkboxes that mention then Undefined techlevel, and check the anomaly checkbox below (if you are using the anomaly dlc)

This is for rimworld 1.6 and above only

Thank you for your work. I have been using this mod since I discovered it, I think 4 years ago. I would like to request it to be updated for 1.6.

@GHXX thank you, I didn't know about that option in the techadvancing config menu. Problem solved for my part.

@Ender's games, @AnimeKingUwU (sorry for the late reply)
Hmm, yea, in vanilla up until a few years ago, there used to be a text in the research description panel that told you the level fo the current techproject you are looking at, though you still had to click through each one to find the one you are missing which was rather annoying - i am guessing that is the reason why you are asking; If you are only interested in finding the remaining techs of a certain techlevel, you can go into the last tab of the techadvancing config menu (accessible via the little techadvancing icon in the top right corner of the research project description panel), orr via the mod-settings (while playing on a map, not while in the game's main menu)

If you want this icon for a reason other than knowing what researches are left for a certain techlevel, please let me know said reason.

As far as integration with other mods go, all research projects that are in the game are taken into account (unless mods explicitly opt out of it, or the research is otherwise ignored according to techadvancing settings), so i am not sure what exactly you are requesting here

Hi, thanks for the mod, first of all. It would be great if there would be some visual aid to tell you what research belongs to which level. I know it's supposed to be straight forward but still the aid would be great.

And then, if (and this is a big IF) said aid could have some integration with some other mods that offer new research... but that would probably be for other mods to do.

Anyway, thanks. Great work.

Can we get a feature where each tech has a little icon of what level it is? It's very hard to determine it when I haven't played vanilla in years and have 100+ mods.
