[Mod Request] Sandbox Tech Tree R&D picker

[Pretorian28715]

Firstly, apologies if this already exists, and thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

Is there a Mod that, or is someone willing to make or assist me make, will allow me to restrict the tech level available to me in Sandbox, I would like to be able to deactivate Tech Tree nodes and/Or Tech Tree levels.

I want to use a Sandbox save as a testing and development 'simulation' for my careers, but find trying to remember which parts I can use a pain.

Not sure, but a mod that also lowers the level of the KSC buildings would be great in sandbox, restricting size of rockets or level of the tech tree available!

What I normally do in your situation is use the Science Mode with as save that either starts with massive science amounts, or else use the ALt-F12 menu to increase science points to unlock where I am up to.

Peace.

Yep thought about something similar, like copy the save and do some persistent file hackery, but I was thinking instead of the messing around that entails, to just be able to open the R&D building and disable nodes.

With some sort of save function would be nice too, or can pick up the Tech Tree from existing Saves, maybe.

@magico13 having recently just discovered your Tree Toppler Modlet, is this something you could do?

You could always create a second career save, then cheat yourself enough Science and funds to get you where you are in your regular career.

Or simply duplicate your current save under a different name.

 

That said, it would be nice for a Sandbox system that lets you turn everything on or off.

You could just use a Science save with Tree Toppler. It'll let you unlock or relock any node you want, which effectively gets you to a Sandbox game with full control over the R&D center.

If it's just for "simulation" purposes why not just use a simulation mod like KRASH. You could disable the associated costs if you didn't want to worry about it costing funds. Then you can test builds without any ramifications.
