tech tree I didn't want

[ZaeRoe]

Have a look through the some of the CFG files for the mods.
Lok for nodes that add any tech tree parts.
Some of these mods I've never even heard of so I don't know What they do or how they effect the tech tree.
I would recommend reading (In detail) all the mod forum p[ages for the various mods and see which ones (if any) change the tree.
Alternatively you could just need a PC or KSP startup…
Hope it helps.

[ZaeRoe]

what do you mean by PC or KSP startup?

Well, actually I did read through all of the ones I didn't know before and reread through my suspicions - even deleted some. but still I didn't find it - that's why I asked here

[jimmymcgoochie]

Get yourself a code editor (VSCode is free and will do the job) and open up the GameData folder in that editor, then do a global search for one of the new node names to track down where it’s coming from.

Alternatively, copy your entire KSP install and start removing mods from the copy until the ugly tech tree goes away, that should narrow down what mods are involved- but judging by the unusually long list of mods, this will take quite some time. This process is much easier with CKAN as it will prevent you from deleting mod dependencies accidentally and you can save the installed mods and reinstall them with a few quick clicks when you’re done, then remove any culprits you find to be causing the issue.

Sometimes the Game or PC's just doesn't start correctly.
Simply restarting the PC or game sometimes fixes issues.
Although this recommendation is more of an attempt at a fix.
Sometimes these things just aren't, right... and a restart may fix it.

Since you got "hide empty tech tree nodes", check the settings of the mod within your game difficulty settings for "remove empty horizontal/vertical space" and disable it, if these are enabled:
