Title: [A17] Useless Search
Post by: PreDiabetic on October 21, 2017, 08:00:16 AM
In Rimworld unemployed paws constantly searching for jobs which causes lags, especially at endgame where no tech to research.

This mod adds another research that has infinite research point which means you cannot research it unless you use devmode.

With this you can give lowest priority research job to anyone, when they don't have their important jobs to do, they will try to "Finish" this research.

This research is "researchable" as Tribal, no previous research necessary.

Here you go (https://github.com/PreDiabetic/Useless-Research/archive/master.zip)

It's as if you're making a metaphorical statement about today's scientific venture, especially the moneysink project such as NASA but let's not getting too much philosophical here. ;) Nice mod, that's one unorthodox method to solve the lategame lag but still nice.

Does it make a difference if I keep dev mode enabled?

Nope, as long as you don't click on "Debug Insta-Finish" next to "Research" button when searching.

good mod, especially for the endgame-manycolonist-donetheresearch playthrough

now, what'll happen if you debug-finish the "infinite" research?

Research EXP is useless to farm. You gain it by doing research so you'd be wasting points. As is there is a limit of research points and they don't really enhance other abilities unless you use mods. Buuuut. Well you do get smarter by learning.

Cool, thanks. I use ResearchPal, I don't think the debug complete button is even on it.
