About Shorter Hard Drive Research

From ficsit.app

Configure how long it takes to research Hard Drives for alternates! Make it instant, longer, or in the middle.

Shorter Hard Drive Research

Configure how long it takes to research Hard Drives for alternate recipes! Note that this only affects the base-game hard drive scanner - mods like Alternate Recipe Research are unaffected.

_Update 8+ compatible version of Faster Hard Drives by Paloys_

Default is 3 seconds. You can make it 0 if you want in the Mod Savegame Settings. You can also make it longer!

Want to reduce how long it takes for other research to complete? Consider:

  • Nog's Automated Research - Build research infrastructure to auto-submit items and reduce Milestone and MAM Research times.
  • Alternate Recipe Research - Directly research the specific alternate you want. This mod does not affect the time its nodes take to research!
  • No Research Time - CL - Make the wait time after every Milestone/MAM Research 0 seconds.
