List of Features
Since the introduction page doesn't let me put so many characters so probably it'll be better to keep the current list of features here.

Settings
  • Group Research by Tech-Level: Whether or not explicitly separate techs by their tech-levels (neolithic, medieval, industrial etc.) (Will result in a MUCH larger and sparser-looking graph, and noticeableslower generation).
  • DON'T IGNORE HIDDEN PREREQUISITES: Fix the issue of original ResearchPal that completely ignores hidden prerequisites of research project. Default is true and is recommended be left that way.
  • Align Nodes Closer to Prerequites: The heuristic will place nodes closer to their prerequisites instead of children (This affects the layout heuristic which does not guarantee anything, could result in some drastic change). Default is `false`.
  • Group Techs from the Same Mod: Put techs from mods separately from the vanilla techs. Default is `true`.
    (Currently all vanilla expanded series techs are grouped together (based on the name of the mod "Vanilla XXX Expanded - YYY) with this option turned on. It is only a temporary solution of mod grouping).
  • Minimum Separate Mod Techs Count: With the option above enabled, it determines the minimum amount of techs of a certain mod for it to be placed separately from vanilla tech tree (so that mods adding very few techs will still be placed along with the main tree). Default is `5` (So a mod adding 5 techs or more will be grouped together and placed separately).
  • Search by Descriptions: Whether the search function consider the descriptions of techs. Default is false.
  • Delay Layout Generation: Generate the layout at the first use of research tree, instead of when loading the game. Default is `false`.
  • Background Layout Generation: Generate the layout on background when the game load. Current default is `false` but probably would be `true` in the future if works as intended.
  • Always Display Progress: Always display the leftover points of ongoing research projects. Doesn't affect the zooming out display.
  • Scrolling Speed Multiplier: Multiplier for default scrolling speed with middle key.
  • Zooming Speed Multiplier: Multiplier for default zooming speed with shift + middle key
  • Dragging Display Delay: Delay in second, how long a node is displayed as dragged after holding down mouse (only affect the display, does not affect actual dragging behavior)
  • Verbose Logging: Work in progress feature, currently does very little logging, hopefully some day it would be useful :P
