Greetings,
in that other game you made, there was an option that allowed you to ask what to research if you wanted, say railroads.
Handy, is this something one could add?
I find this tech tree overwhelming but I will learn it eventually. But until then.
Ok, enough littering of the billboard for a while, perhaps..

You can already sort of do this. Right clicking on the tech choices (with focused research allowed) you get after an advance dumps you directly into the tech datalinks. It's a bit of a hassle, but you can backtrack from whatever you want to those techs you have.

I've just got my tech poster stuck up on my wall next to the computer. I sit and search for what I want to develop, then (since my researcher is blind) figure out what colours I need for now.
