Tech Reduction 0%
This mod simply reduces the percentage increase incurred from acquiring new planets and populations to 0.
I would personally consider this a cheat mod, as it removes any penalties to growth when it comes to technology, but it does make for a much faster tech race.
This mod changes the following values in 00_defines.lua, and will not be compatible with other mods that do so:
TECH_COST_MULT_NUM_COLONIES
TECH_COST_FREE_POPS
TECH_COST_MULT_NUM_POPS
I’ve made identical mods that provide different values as well. Try and figure out which one works best for you:
