Multiple requirements

XML of DOOM

from GalCiv2 Forums
Hello;

I was unable to find this mentioned in the Modding Doc, and a quick search did not yeild the thread I was looking for.

I remember a thread sometime ago where it was stated that in the Tech tree, multiple tech requirements could be listed and that the game would look at them in an either/or fashion. You would need tech A or Tech B to research Tech C.

I was wondering if this would extend to other requirements, particularly the Starbase modules prerequisites. If I list Module Y and Z as requiements for Module X, will I:

a) be able to install X with either Y OR Z present?
b) be required to have both Y AND Z present?
c) rain death upon my computer?

No, you can't do that with ships apparently, the game isn't designed for that. I cames across another post asking the same question, and that was Kryo's answer.

Thanks, Unfortunately I was hoping that was not the answer, but I was leaning toward that being the case.

Is that right about the tech tree though? I think if you have ore than one prereq listed, that it only keeps the final one and ignores the rest.

well, Unfortunately, another quick search did not find the post I was looking for, so I really can't say anything about the tech tree with any certianty.

I thought I read that it worked either/or, but I can't find that thread to back it up.

I'm more interested in the starbase modules though. I mentioned the Tech tree hoping to jog someone's memory.
