Research tech help

[Encrtia]

I'm in a game with far too many unprepared A16 mods that can't utilize the Research Web at all.

Unfortunately, 1-2, or possibly more, are off-screen below. As I'm years into this game, wondering if there's a way I can research them? Through any means necessary...

If it's worth noting, even if I enable Developer Mode, I can't see the box in the Research Web to insta research it - all I can see is the connecting line.

I humbly await someone's gracious aid to my pickle...

You would have to manually edit thr x and y coords of each of the research defs in all of the mods to be compatible with each other.....yeah...have fun. The issue of research appearing off screen is a bug however that shouldnt be happening.

As a work around you could use the DEV mode and click the complete all research button, this would at least give you all research, and let you play your current game?

I was preparing to do that, but - perhaps I'm in luck with QuantumX's shortcut.

That'd do perfect - it's only a handful of techs anyway. Many thanks; completely missed that option before.

There is a bar to scroll over to the right, but no bar to scroll down. I think the fix this issue, a bar to scroll down being added would fix a majority of the researches added from mods. I do not know how far to the right it will scroll, if changing some of the research to 50+ on the x plane, will work, crash the game, or be off the screen on the right. Anyone know?


EDIT:  I tried it out, and it appears the window will scroll to the right for as far as is needed. I added 20 or 30 to the x values, and it solved MOST of my issues of not being able to see research, and some being forced below the bottom. I think with the 15-20 mods I have, it would take maybe 10 or so minutes to go through and add numbers to the x values to fix this problem. Encrtia, it also is save game compatible, and in my humble opinion, a better solution than going the Dev Mode route too.

As far as the Y_Axis is concerned. You can go from 0 to 5.25 on the Y-axis, but the Y-axis only extends to 8 or 10
