Ohh damn thanks! Time to manually add new factions.

No, this mod only affects the player's techlevel

Question, does this mod also affect the tech level of other friendly/enemy tribes? I mean can they advance too?

This mod shouldnt be touching combat at all, why do you suspect that TA is the issue?

The mod seemingly breaks combat, though its possibly just a conflict with another mod i had

<3

Just wanted to chime in and say thanks for keeping this mod current. This should really be implemented in the base game tbh.

@bhs -1 is not quite enough as that just essentially reduces the techlevel by one. Id put in -10 in both rules and then also at the top set the automatic techlevel detection to neolithic and that should keep you at neolithic forever

Hey.
If I want to stay neolithic all the way [to increase tech costs], all i have to do is to put "-1" in both conditions to prevent any advancements ?

@Bosh No, it does not

Does this also limit the kind of technology you can use like Arcane technology does?

Thanks to azrazalea theres now some more cusotmization options, such as TA not affecting techs with techlevel Undefined (i.e anomaly), or speciifc tabs that you can select in the config menu on the second tab. Should all be compatible with previous versions, though you may notice that the anomaly techs no longer have a discounted cost. If you want to restore the old behaviour, go to the second tab and uncheck the second one of the checkboxes that mention then Undefined techlevel, and check the anomaly checkbox below (if you are using the anomaly dlc)

This is for rimworld 1.6 and above only

thanks for the update!

nice

Updated :)

Thank you for your work. I have been using this mod since I discovered it, I think 4 years ago. I would like to request it to be updated for 1.6.

@GHXX thank you, I didn't know about that option in the techadvancing config menu. Problem solved for my part.

@Ender's games, @AnimeKingUwU (sorry for the late reply)
Hmm, yea, in vanilla up until a few years ago, there used to be a text in the research description panel that told you the level fo the current techproject you are looking at, though you still had to click through each one to find the one you are missing which was rather annoying - i am guessing that is the reason why you are asking; If you are only interested in finding the remaining techs of a certain techlevel, you can go into the last tab of the techadvancing config menu (accessible via the little techadvancing icon in the top right corner of the research project description panel), orr via the mod-settings (while playing on a map, not while in the game's main menu)

If you want this icon for a reason other than knowing what researches are left for a certain techlevel, please let me know said reason.

As far as integration with other mods go, all research projects that are in the game are taken into account (unless mods explicitly opt out of it, or the research is otherwise ignored according to techadvancing settings), so i am not sure what exactly you are requesting here

Hi, thanks for the mod, first of all. It would be great if there would be some visual aid to tell you what research belongs to which level. I know it's supposed to be straight forward but still the aid would be great.

And then, if (and this is a big IF) said aid could have some integration with some other mods that offer new research... but that would probably be for other mods to do.

Anyway, thanks. Great work.

Can we get a feature where each tech has a little icon of what level it is? It's very hard to determine it when I haven't played vanilla in years and have 100+ mods.

Which icons? If you are referring to the one thats in the top right corner of the left section of the vanilla research tree, then no.
But as this one gets hidden when using other tech trees, you can access it via the vanilla mod settings menu while playing on a map.

Is there a way to adjust the position of the icons?

@Omniburg - short answer: possibly
long answer: depends on how you have the settings setup. you can have it set to ignore all other pages other than the main tech page. so if the mod adds to the main tech page, you will likely need to research it. if it is on a separate page, then you will probably not need to research all of it.

does this mod take into account new technologies introduced by other mods? for example, if a mod introduces new spacer techs, do i need to research all/half of those too in order to advance to ultratech?

Yeah with the anomaly dlc, the whole tree counts as a tech level that doesn't exist. And it applies the tech discount to it, which makes each project cost only 1-3 points. Idk how to fix it so I just disabled anomaly

@TumbleElf do you mean it doesnt function with the anomaly tech tree?

I cant look into that unfortunately as i dont have that dlc, but anyone is welcome to contribute a fix via a pullrequest over at https://github.com/RimWorldMod/Tech-Advancing

just a heads up this doesnt work with anomaly, all the research values are incredibly low. other than that this mod is great

Thanks, everyone :)

Oh my, I don't remember this being nearly as popular. Maybe giving awards does do something after all!

Hmm not sure, i never had any integration in place for any research tree mods and it always worked just fine, so perhaps they changed something on their end, might be best if you got in touch with them and if they need something they can patch Techadvancing or add some code via a PR

@smilebrandon It's a research tree issue it looks like

Getting the error: "[ResearchTree]: TechLevelBounds called before they are set." when I adjusted TechLevel config mid-game and trying to open the research tree. It results in a blank research tree using the mod Research Tree (Continued): https://steamproxy-script.pipiskins.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3030499331 . Works fine with vanilla research tree.

@GHXX They make it work with any tech advancing mod, so after testing it works fine depending on the settings

omg thank you for this mod! I assumed that in vanilla the colony's tech level would eventually increase as they learned more tech above their level, my recent playthrough with the tribal start made me realize that this isn't the case, which is dumb imo.

i dont know

does this work with tribals from VFE?

I have confirmed it is not this mod.

Shouldnt be this one. This one only adds a tiny button to the left-techtree window and thats it :)

Not sure if it's this mod or another but my tech tree has changed. I don't get a preview of what a tech unlocks and if I click a tech it just opens up it's description up. over the tech tree disallowing me from checking my tech tree while I am researching a tech. Gonna be running some tests in a minute.

:D

great mod

(just in case, this is only relevant if you got the medieval opt-in setting enabled. Otherwise you most likely missed a tech, check the last tab of the mod's config menu)

Basically, iirc, the way it works, if a pawn joins your colony whos faction has a tech level >= industrial, then the restriction is lifted. Id assume pod crashers dont count, as they dont belong to any faction, hence dont have a tech level associated with them.

My suggestion is to recruit a raider (of an industrial or higher faction), for instance, and that should then count. If the ancients do have an industrial techlevel, it should have counted if they joined your colony. It should not have counted if they were in your colony from the start of the game. Upon successful recruiting you will receive a letter.

what level of industrial pawn do i need in my colony to advance from med to ind? I can swear i have multiple ind level pawns yet i cant advance even with all techs researched. Do ancients not count? drop pod crashes from ind level colonies space ship crashes etc

Ah, there is a setting that lets you ignore techs of the "undefined" techlevel, and thats on by default, so they should be ignored :)

Oh, thanks! I just checked, and they're all under undefined.

I dont have the anomaly DLC, so i cannot answer that directly, but you should be able to check the techadvancing config menu tab that tells you which projects you still need to research. If it is neither ignored nor already researched, it should be listed there i believe.

Is anomaly research counted by this mod?

Oh, sorry, I misunderstood the meaning of B. I thought it was a separate logic. shame on me... Thanks!
