I've been watching my friend play this game, and streamers and noticed that with mods the research tree is extremely cluttered. I thought of this semi-simple solution, allow under the mods section in game a way to edit the research tree. It would go in look at all the x,y coordinates for the research nodes given from the core game and mods and basically allow you to visually move them around in a manner that is cohesive to researching them. Basically an in game visual xml editor for research trees. This way it allows people to customize the way their research tree looks, and especially when the vertical slider is implemented this would allow easy grouping for mods and other such things.
