Theory of Technology by Ryifer
USED WHEN EMPIRE SIZE EFFECT NOTHING ON TECHNOLOGY COST
Add Technology Spread and increase the cost for the late technologies.
For any of playable countries, parts of its research point will spread to other country. AI Empire will not be too backward in technology because this.
Passive spread (Effected by the ratio Decryption/Encryption):
Bordering country, Close the Border: 10%.
Bordering country, Open the Border: 15% Extra.
Enigmatic Engineering will reduce the passive spread to ZERO.
Active spread (Not Effected by the rD/E):
Any country, In the Same Federation: 40%.
Any country, has Research Agreement: 35%.
Technology cost is greatly increase to make it hard to finish them entirely.
When Technology reach a new tier, cost reach 2x to 4x of previous tier.

New Tech-Tree is in progress
Update 31/3/2022
Fixed Bug: Technology Points from Spread will no longer spread to other countries by Research Pacts, but bordering spread unchanged.
Update 10/3/2022
Optimization: Rearrange whole the Code and delete unnecessary calculation.
New Feature: Max Technology Spread now can be more than twice of country own produces.
New Feature: Research Agreement provide 0.2x share now.
New Feature: Show amount of TechPoint spreaded.
Fixed Bug: I forgot, but there should have a bug fixed.
Fixed Bug: Incompatible with the Theory of Population by Ryifer.
