1.3 Beta 3X | QUESTION: Tech production surplus change?

Does the surplus get saved in Beta 3X?

from GalCiv2 Forums
I am playing a game using 1.3 Beta 3X. When I have a high amount of research and could potentially discover multiple cheap advances in one turn, I still only seem to get a single advance with no "carry-over" to the next advance on the tech tree. However, the surplus seems to get banked somewhere, because I am still getting new cheap advances on the next turn even if I turn my tech spending to zero percent.

Is this a change in 3X? I also put all my game settings on Random, including Tech Rate. Could this be a Tech Rate thing that I was unaware of?

Just so you know, I like the "banked" research surplus better than having the research carried over to the next tech in the tree.

I still get several during the same turn. I have not noticed what you are describing.

I haven't noticed any difference with 1.3beta 3x either. From what I've seen usually the extra RPs get spent on the next tech but i think i've seen it get carried over to my next tech pick on occassion too.

Sort of hard to pin down as it doesn't show up on the tech slider on the next turn -- at least in early part of the game ( think i've seen the overflow show up towards the end of a game before ).

However it will show up on the tech slider if you go back to that tech after a turn or more from what i've noticed.

I played farther into the same game. At some point it does start to carry over to the next tech in the tree. I'm not sure if this is a bug or if one of the early research techs makes the carry over start to happen.
