Smooth painless research

   



This is a fork of ResearchTree by Fluffy. Main difference is when the tree is generated and the tree layout. The tree is generated when RimWorld is loading, you won't get interrupted by the tab. The denser layout helps with the interface lag with very big trees. There is the option to go back to the wide TechLevels layout in the settings while keeping the Pal goodies.

Alternative Research Tab
Looks pretty, is useful. You can learn what your research will unlock, which things will be available and what depends on it.

Research Queue
You have a plan in mind, execute it with no interruptions.

Organization
No more clumped researches. This mod warranties no overlaps.

Mod Aware
Researches introduced by mods will count too.

HelpTab Support
If HelpTab is loaded, right click will open the relevant help.

Conflicts
- Organized Research Tab
- Research Scrollbars

A comprehensive help database for RimWorld


      

Simple
All the information about everything compiled in a neat catalog of things, explore what your world offers, with detail! Everything is connected, navigate at your heart's content.

Resourceful
Do you want to know how to build something? What you need to research to obtain it? No more digging inside xml to learn what needs to be done. Just search it and discover!

Shortcuts
Do you know the research name? Find it with the search by text toolbox and research right from the HelpTab.

Flexible
Supports every thing any mod adds. The perfect companion for navigating those complex mods.

No, it only does the tree/help calculations once before you even load a map.

Great!
I'll give it a go.
Thanks a lot!

Yay!! Been missing this for so long! Especially while still getting a taste of it when playing with the HardcoreSK pack, it's always a bummer to go back to regular games without it!

Thank you so much!

Awesome,
now Rimworld ascends into the 4x Genre :)

Subsribed.

Maxim 1   : Pillage, then burn
Maxim 37 : There is no overkill. There is only open fire and reload.
Rule 34 of Rimworld :There is a mod for that.

Hey, great to see you got these updated!

For the record, the help tab contains code from Mipen (IIRC, original) E (loads of tweaks) and me (refactor, many additional defs, crosslinking, UI, preview images).

edit; it was Mipen, not Milon

NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO!!!!!!!!!! I demand that this be taken off the forums!!! how can something this awesome be allowed to exist?!?!?!?!?! This is obviously some kind of trick to take over the world isnt it?!?!?! You are in league with that Evil Master Modder FLUFFY arent you!!! Because of your awesomeness I have no choice but to start a new colony again.... Damn these awesome modders!

They look like neat mods but could you please add direct download versions of both?

Holy heck, that research-menu looks fantastic! Should be extremely helpful for heavily modded games.

I would also love a direct DL-link.

Oh, thank you - it'd still be great if notfood made it a bit clearer.
