SA Buildings Midgame Nerf

Small mod that reduce the productivity bonus of SA buildings to +20% at start, and provides techs to increase it back to +50%. These techs provide a +10% bonus per step and become available as you progress through the game. The final level (+50%) is unlocked on Aquilo.

  • The +50% bonus is great, and we all love it <3

But it makes SA buildings very powerful and can be unlocked quite early if you rush them. The "power spike" is huge. So I thought about how to nerf it without taking away that feature.

And the solution is actually quite simple and effective. The nerf is applied during the mid-game without losing the potential in the end-game. The increase in productivity does not happen all at once, but is gradual per 10% steps as technologies are unlocked.

Future plans

  • Add a setting to change techs cost
  • Add a setting to make trigger techs instead of normal ones (like craft x of that pack)

I'm open to suggestions/ideas ;)
