Copied the Core folder & renamed it. Modded the research to be faster, works great. What I initially encountered, however, was it only worked as long as the modded Core folder was at the top of the list when combined with other mods.
It appears the game reads these mods in order of placement on the list. Was wondering if that was the actual case.
Thanks for any response.

Yep lower stuff replaces the higher stuff if both contain same <thingdefname>.
All i do is clutter all around.

Also, don't copy the entire core directory, you will be copying things you don't need, creating bloat, violating copyright if you distribute it for anything you didn't change, creating mod incompatibility by overriding other mods by returning defs back to their core values, etc, etc.

tl;dr - Only copy the exact thing you need, not everything and make sure you change the about.xml to information about your mod.
(2*b)||!(2*b) - That is the question.
There are 10 kinds of people in this world - those that understand binary and those that don't.

Thanks guys, redid my mod to NOT entail the Core folder. ( knew of "about" thanks ). Agree on the bloating content, mostly just Langauages @ 14 mb.
