Question: Tech Trees

from Elemental Forums

Question... has anyone tried adding to an existing tech tree rather than creating an entire new tree with new techs added?  Last time I tried this (pre 1.1) it didn't work.

I've tried it, but creating a new tree is really easy so there's not much reason not to.

If I wanted to add techs to the vanilla tech trees, you're saying just overlay the vanilla tech trees with a new tech tree of the same name?

No, I don't think that works. Just create a new tech tree instead.

Existing races/factions won't use the new tech tree

They will if you set them to

<RaceConfig InternalName="KingdomOfAltar">
<TechTree>yournewtechtree</TechTree>
</RaceConfig>
End of quote

All that's needed.

That is easy.  But being able to insert techs into a tech tree would be better.  Less likely to be a conflict where multiple mods are concerned.

Well, if you can get that to work, be sure to let us know.
