A worry about the tech tree

[llamatoes]

I think that experienced players will breeze through the tech tree in a couple of hours.

I'm still really excited for some pretext to do a new space programme, but before I can really get to work doing all the orbitally constructed spacecraft, I have to be quite high in the tree.

I propose for a second tree.

It should be procedural, and it offers improvements, like 5% weight reduction on tanks etc, and these have increasingly high costs, so that I still have an excuse for fitting a top of the range craft with all the SCIENCE! Parts and communications parts.

There is still the sandbox mode if you want to do that without the tech tree.

At the moment the only thing the tech tree is adding, is a challenge at the beginning of the program because you don't have all the parts.

The cost is still placeholder at the moment and "useless", it's already hard to balance one tree (even within the marathon, the tree changed so many times), than balancing more would take even more time.
