Best way to hide vanilla researches?

[Caminha]

What is the best way to definitely hide all vanilla researches? Overwriting all Defs to researches I want is a possibility but seems counterproductive.

This is the nuke option. You can try using xpath patch operation. https://gist.github.com/Zhentar/4a1b71cea45b9337f70b30a21d868782

It support removal of node.

Your patch might look something like this, though I hadn't removed parent node before.

Code Select Expand


<Patch>
<Operation Class="PatchOperationRemove">
  <xpath>Defs/ResearchProjectDef[defName = "RecurveBow"]</xpath>
</Operation>
</Patch>


This of course will mess up everything that has vanilla research requirement.

Why do you need hide all vanilla research?

You could look at the Humanoid Alien Race framework, it has some code that allows it to dynamically show/hide research projects based on the species in your colony. I suspect you could tweak that to simply hide a whole bunch of projects instead. That would be less destructive than patch removal, since tech requirements and all would still point to projects, just not ones that are researchable.

Page 9, Race Restrictions, it's the first section.

You can easily define projects that can only be done by your race. ...
Additionally, the defined and every derived node will not be visible on the research screen until the conditions are met.

I have no idea how, but it says it does it.

Race restricted research is something quite useful.
You can easily define projects that can only be done by your race.

To me it means, some research needs to be done by one race and not another. It does not mean any research tree is hidden.
I am on Erdelf Discord, i will ask him. Afak it does not hide any research tree.

[ethouiche]

the framework does it
it hides in the research tree, as long as no members of that species are in the colony

My bad.
