TechnologyData - Prototype Docs

TechnologyData :: struct

Used when defining a TechnologyPrototype that uses difficulty. For a technology without difficulty, these same properties are defined on the prototype itself.

Properties

upgrade :: bool optional

Default: false

When set to true, and the technology contains several levels, only the relevant one is displayed in the technology screen.

Example

{
  type = "technology",
  name = "physical-projectile-damage-2",
  [...]
  upgrade = "true"
}

enabled :: bool optional

Default: true

hidden :: bool optional

Default: false

Hides the technology from the tech screen.

visible_when_disabled :: bool optional

Default: false

Controls whether the technology is shown in the tech GUI when it is not enabled.

ignore_tech_cost_multiplier :: bool optional

Default: false

Controls whether the technology cost ignores the tech cost multiplier set in the DifficultySettings. E.g. 4 for the default expensive difficulty.

unit :: TechnologyUnit

Determines the cost in items and time of the technology.

max_level :: uint32 or `"infinite"` optional

"infinite" for infinite technologies, otherwise uint32.

Defaults to the same level as the technology, which is 0 for non-upgrades, and the level of the upgrade for upgrades.

prerequisites :: array[TechnologyID] optional

List of technologies needed to be researched before this one can be researched.

Example

prerequisites = {"explosives", "military-2"}

effects :: array[Modifier] optional

List of effects of the technology (applied when the technology is researched).

Example

{
  {
    type  = "unlock-recipe",
    recipe = "land-mine"
  }
}
