*answered* Career mode R&D - Money value under parts in the research menu different than actual cost?

[RYU AZUKU99]

*answered* In the R&D facility when looking at other parts in higher tech levels each part has a money value underneath it different from the actual part cost. Can you individually research parts by spending some extra money if you lack the science? Is it a bug? Is it because of my career mode settings? Or just something for a later date? Thanks

It's because your career mode setting. Normally, a tech node is unlocked with science point, which will give you an access to unlock parts inside that node with money. The money to UNLOCK parts is not the same with money to BUY that part. You cannot use money to unlock a part if the node is still locked. When starting a new career, there's a custom difficulty option that removes the requirement to unlock parts with money, so you only need to pay the science for a node, and all the parts inside that node is yours
