A companion mod for Research Reinvented that modifies the vanilla research tree to one with a more discreet, logical progression.
Research Reinvented is recommended, but not required.

You can see the new tech tree in the images above.
In text form, the full list of changes would be too long, so here's some highlights!
- Electricity project is now split into Heating elements, Dynamos, Electricity (basics) and Circuitry.
- A set of semi-auto generated early techs that will start out unlocked, unless you get a no tech start mod.
- Every vanilla technology now has one or more logical precursor(s). No more orphan techs.
- Some techs are earlier in the tree, some later, as befitting the difficulty of the science involved.
- Techs later in the tech tree now have higher tech levels. Nothing Industrial about Archogenetics here.
- Many techs now require specific other techs, instead of branching directly off Electricity, Microelectronics, Multi-Analyzer or Fabrication.
- Organ and limb implantation surgeries are now gated behind some early medical technologies, because being able to perform a heart transplant without any research whatsoever is a bit goofy. This one is a bit controversial, so there is an option in the settings to disable it.
Non-steam version and old releases can be found here.
