Yeah, I made this 3 years ago. All the buildings have been re-balanced since then. I really should update it. Maybe that will be my new year project when I get some free time.

It seems workers refuse to enter the build no matter what. And you can't force them to use it. You probably need to update the mode?

Thanks. :D
I updated it to remove the version warning on 2.3.x

Good to hear. Then I'll gladly continue to use this mod. ^^

Nothing changed in 2.3 that would effect it. I should update the supported version number though.

Do you plan on updating this to 2.3 or does it work already?

No worries, I wouldn't have noticed if I didn't have a really low income of Engineering. As a result I needed to use you Engineering Lab.

Ok, Hiveminds should be fixed now. I forgot an "_add" in the building code. Let me know if any other errors pop up.

Oh my. I'll look at it tonight. Hopefully I can get a fix up by tomorrow. Thanks for finding that. I've never played as Hive Mind.

I like the mod too, but I found a bug. :(

For Hive Mind, the Engineering Lab and Physics Lab only gives 1 Brain Drone, and no second Specialist.

The Social Lab gives a Brain Drone and a Social Drone.

You're welcome. I'm glad so many people like it.

One word. Awesome. Two more, thanks heaps.

I personally find myself leading always in society research, since all those culture workes and what not create society science and unity. You want unity, and get soc. science.
I also liked the way it was before they merged the sciences willy-nilly.

Thank you.

I subbed instantly after reading your reply. Great idea, great mod.

Yes. So instead of the usual 4/4/4 the new researchers do 12/0/0. Same total, different allotment. Very useful if your playstyle leans heavily on one type of science, such as engineering for machine empires. Also quite nice if you have planets with % bonuses to a particular type, even if it's not a type you want to lean on, because it allows you to spend less consumer goods/minerals to get up to the level of science you want. Basicly it puts you in control of your science, instead of it being random based on the planets you find.

*single question, apparently

So, few questions. Do the research labs still produce the same base amount of overall science when they're specialized?

Apart from that balancing tidbit, I can totally see ho I'd spam these puppies on world with research type-specific modifiers to get more bang for my buck.

Thank you. I've done my best to keep it balanced. I'm glad you like it.

After four matches in 2.2. I am really thinking about why did Pdx remove specialized research buildings and even add more heavy missons into engineering area, it just resulting a more unreasonable gameplay experience, darn it.
Why not get all those things back? so I said to myself just now, but I thought again, maybe someone has already done this.
In short, glad to see you and your mod.

Ok, I pushed through to the final building upgrades and everything looks to be working.

Thanks. Let me know how it feels and if you encounter any issues. I haven't playtested it into endgame yet.

Magic, will give it a try
