Tec Cost and avalibility

Impaler[WrG] · January 4, 2004, 11:25

Dose anyone know the formula by which the game calculates the number of lab points each successive tecnology will cost. I would asume their is a component for the Map size and then each additonal tec you have multiplies the cost by some %.

Also I heave heard this is a program out their that can predict what your avalible tec options will be given any set of currently known tecs. I belive Minute Mirage made it, can anyone provide a link.

This is the thread for Mirage's spreadsheet - I don't know anything about the first part of your question I'm afraid.

Here's a link to a thread from a couple of months ago in which tech costs were discussed:

Thanks for the help guys, I downloaded the Spread sheet and am finding it very handy. The Equasions I will need to experiment with a bit to see if their any use to me.

Particularly the bonus reduction to tec cost (beyond getting thier output multipled) for a Reserch oriented faction is puzzling. Along with the Map size modifier, is it based on the same Sqare Root of map tiles function that controls Buracracy Drones?
