Questions about the Tech Tree and Improvements Editors

Haven't seen anything about this addressed yet, so I'm gonna give it a shot.

I have been playing with both the Improvements and  Tech Tree Editors, and I wanted to make up a tree for my custom race, the Therian Empire. Mostly I just wanted to make cosmetic changes to mostly the name and descriptions of things, to make them more to the race itself. I was trying this with the XML file for the Minor Race tech tree, and I did copy that and then changed the name to Therian_TechTree.xml. I tried the changes 1st by just changing the names of a couple things in the MinorRace xml and those worked, but if I tired using the new Therian TechTree file when picking the tech for a race, halfway thought the new game loading in, it crashes right to the desktop without any warning, so I am guessing there is an error I am causing in the Therian TechTree xml file.

As for the Improvements, how do I make Improvements that are race specific. Is there a set of files for improvements for each race, or are they all just from one for all to use?

Other people have reported crashes with the editor's tech trees too, so it will need looked into.

Everyone uses one improvements file (PlanetImprovements.xml), the only thing that sets them apart is that some require race-specific techs.
