Dynamic Technology Tree

This MOD generates a complete technology tree for the vanilla game + all enabled MODs via a script, and determines part of each technology’s description. Simply hover your mouse over a technology to view its prerequisites and subsequent structures. Please place this MOD at the very bottom of the load order; otherwise, the text may be overwritten by other MODs.
Due to the higher information density of Chinese characters compared to English, English users may encounter technology names that wrap across multiple lines. Consequently, the visual layout may not appear as compact or clean as the Chinese version shown in the screenshots.
Supports:

• Vanilla Game
• Enabled Workshop MODs
• Local MODs

A graphical configuration tool (GUI) is now provided, eliminating the need to manually edit configuration files.

• Subscribe to and enable this MOD, ensuring it is at the very bottom of the load order.

  • Path to dlc_load.json (Manual specification recommended for Linux/macOS)
  • Local MOD Directory (Optional)
• Select language and display parameters (default values can be used).
• Click the Generate Tech Tree button and wait for completion.
• Launch the game and hover your mouse pointer over technologies to see the effect.
• Note: If an old localization folder exists, it must be deleted.
