Tech Tree

You can find a link to the tech tree here: https://abload.de/img/techtree-supremerulers2pwt.png

Tech Tree Data File

The data for the tech tree is stored in two different files.

  • /Maps/Data/default.ttrx
  • /Localize/LOCALEN/LocalText-TTR.csv
  • Maximum ID for tech entries is 2048 (GR/SR2030: 3000)

The .ttrx file is also in csv format. The ID column is used to match the text to the data. The columns in the .ttrx file are as follows:

Tech ID
Tech Category [1-6] Zero indicates invalid entry
Tech level of project 0 to 255 In GR/SRNG, Tech Level 0 will be automatically researched
Email ID email will be triggered when research of this tech is completed.
Prerequisite technology ID #1
Prerequisite technology ID #2
Effect #1 / #2 [ / #3 / #4] See List below. SRU and earlier: 2 Effects per tech. GR/SR2030: 4 Effects per tech
effectparm x -

magnitude of each effect

-/+ float Value of 0.0 is no change. SRU and earlier: 2 Effects per tech. GR/SR2030: 4 Effects per tech
Leadsto ID #1 For techs that build up to a major discovery, this is a "Leads to" tech; ie Era techs or important discoveries.
Leadsto ID #2 ...(Used for UI display and also AI determination of best techs to research) (GR/SRNG Only)
Region Available (Region Codes) Similar to use with Unit Designs, restricts techs to regions with a matching buildavail region code .

Currently does not prevent trading or stealing tech. (GR/SRNG Only)

Time to research float In Days
Cost to research float
Public support -1.0 to +1.0
World support -1.0 to +1.0
AI interest 0.0 to 1.0
Tradeable Y/N
Default set Y/N If set, tech will be included for regions if within 15 years of region's tech level
Is Unit Prereq Y/N Is used for Tech details display
Is Tech Prereq Y/N Is used for Tech details display
Is Facil Prereq Y/N Is used for Tech details display
Is an Era Tech Y/N Is used by AI and for display
AI (Minister) Interest 0.0 to 1.0
Exclude from Start Tech Y/N If set, this tech will be excluded from automatic starttech research additions

The Pic value (#4) was updated to support an email ID value. If placed here, the email will be triggered when research of this tech is completed.

Tech Effects

Tech Effects 1 to 199 are cumulative values (they are multiplication factors); these values can be increased or decreased by Tech Tree Technologies (individual tech effects multiplied together).

Default value for all is 1.0 until changed by known techs.

Example: Starting value 1.0; Tech A effect 0.2, results in a modifier value of 1.2; Tech B effect -0.6, which is a multiplier of 0.4 (1 - 0.6) and results in a final modifier value of 1.2*0.4 = 0.48
