Scientists Produce Research
Simple mod that causes hired Scientist Leaders to produce research depending on their expertise.
Each Scientist with an Expertise trait now produces 8 research.
The type of research they produce depends on what their Expertise is. If their Expertise is in a field of Physics (blue trait icon), they produce 8 Physics Research.
The research they produce is added into "stored research" each month, which is then used by the main three Scientist working on your Technologies.
The purpose of this mod is simple:
You can only ever have three Scientists working on Technology research at any time, while the rest of your Scientists captain Science Ships, work on projects, or otherwise sit around doing nothing.
I thought it would make sense if all those other Scientists could work towards your main Technology research, assisting those main three Scientist.
This mod does just that.
While the rest of your Scientists you pay good energy for are out flying around the galaxy, they can now relay their findings and notes back to Homeworld to assist your three Technology Scientists with their work!

For help figuring out how to make this mod. I couldn’t have done it without him! I had no idea where to even start.

For noting that since 2019, file loading was changed so that my file was completely overwriting the vanilla one, suggesting I rename the file to 01_base_classes.txt. Yep, this mod was broken for well over a year or two because of a single number!
This mod does not replace any files, but rather adds a new file (common/leader_classes/01_base_classes.txt) which overwrites a section of the vanilla common/leader_classes/00_base_classes.txt file (the section regarding Scientist class leaders). It will be compatible with (almost) every mod out there, unless it also contains leader_classes/01_base_classes file, which is unlikely (hopefully).
Making mods is a hobby I enjoy very much, and and help you can provide is much appreciated!
