I recromend splitting up when you get reserches. At the point it is you get 15 of them and never read them all. If you got 5-8 more frequently it might encourage reading a few lines of text more often instead of a GIANT wall every now and then.

So should I remove some and add them to an add-on?

Im not sure at the full extent of the a mount of Researches yet, but it might not be needed to make a whole new mod. Just spacing it should be enough.

There are 4x the researches of the game
An ExtendedGDT addon is basically an add-on to extendedGDT. it will require extendedgdt to work, it will be optional for people.

A few new ideas...
First off is the Size of games and what you can put in them. Currently AAA game is the biggest but can only fit 3-5 Mechanics and with the INSANE amount of researches you can't Possibly use any realistic amount of them. You really have to nit-pick which ones you grab and only end up using the same 10-20 researches end game.

Second is GDT game length.the Default is 35 years and with all the content added you have to min-max from the start to get into the final office by year 15 and even then it doesn't leave enough time to get the stuff added. I currently do not know if the time was extended but with the CURRENT content i believe year 45-50 is about how much the Mod adds for your casual player. to 100% complete the game.

Third is more stuff to do with the R&D department is research. They are simply lack-luster at this point. There isn't enough stuff to do with them alone. Maybe require them to unlock more very powerful Researches such as a bigger game than AAA and even some of the end game researches.

1) That is indeed a very good and helpful idea! I don't know if it's hard to do or the game allows me to do it, but I'll check it out!

2) Game lenghth: The mod has a storyline. Some features are broken and I'm trying to fix them. In 42 Year mode, you are getting the Advertise in Pixelware function in the menu, before the message is shown. So it would break the game more.

3) I'm currently working on Lab/Hardware researches, but the API does not support that. Coding it from scratch is really hard, since most of the game's functino aren't really helpful to attach and add code. UltimateLib does though, but I'm not going to use UltimateLib because it uses its own code, and I don't want to learn it now.

I don't know if anybody else posted this, sorry if somebody else did, but there needs to be a DLC option. I know there is one for MMO games, and that is vanilla, but I mean all games. Not just MMOs. I don't know if this is already a feature in the mod because I haven't played it because I'm playing vanilla for a while. Also, there are other DLC mods, but those are awful. One just changes "Create Sequel" to "Create DLC", and the other forces you to make DLC. Please do this. If you do, I will completely drop my vanilla run and do a run with this mod. :ghsmile:

I love this mod and have had it for months now. THank you for it. Is there any way you could add:
1) DLC - Much like the DLC mod other there, but WORKING.
2) Hit games affecting market share - Your mod adds consoles and and mkaes that mod not work, but I would love to see that feature in this mod.

Hi dude, I have a question and also some little idea about add more than one topic to choose to our game. You know, when I try to do "Dead Space" I will be create a action game with the space, but it could be in the "horror" topic also, or science fiction, or survival. Many of games can be described more than one "topic". So You could do this or You know about mod with this option?

Expansion Pack mod has 2 topics. The update is just not released yet.
