Re: AI Research Builder
This is definitely not my first program. 
I have uploaded a new version that will compress repeated levels of a tech area into a single research entry. Thus, if you have:
Ships 1
Ships 2
Ships 3
Physics 1
Ships 4
The research file will contain entries for:
Ships 3
Physics 1
Ships 4 |

Re: AI Research Builder
Nice tool. I'd have some feature requests, but will save them for later when I have more time.
For now I recommend using 34 as the default value for Min Percent.

Re: AI Research Builder
Any particular reason for 34 over 25?

Re: AI Research Builder
I prefer 25 myself, particularly for the start of the game. However, 33 can have an advantage in that you can research a pre-req tech area and research the uncovered tech area fairly quickly after...

Yes, 34 makes a more focused research.

33 is no different compared to 25. The AI will research the same amount of projects at the same time.
3 projects at 33 only add up to 99, causing the AI to add a 4th project. |

Re: AI Research Builder
This research builder is a great little program. Is there any way to load in an existing AI research file?

Re: AI Research Builder
The program wasn't really designed around editing existing research files. I can see about implementing such functionality though.
One potential issue is that loading from an existing research file would eliminate any carefully crafted min percent settings in the file. Not a problem if you tend to just use one value throughout, of course.

Re: AI Research Builder
Another thought: I do not care to implement separate lists based on AI states. The current version makes all techs in the research file configured for all states. If I try to load in complex AI research files that have a bunch of tech lines based on specific states, everything will break down. I dunno how many AIs do things with separate states in the research file though, other than bumping up stellar manipulation for not-connected.
