Hey peeps,
I desperately need to build Hab complexes ASAP so that my bases could grow beyond 14.
This is frustrating as i do not know which techs are needed. A good feature of civ2 was that the civpedia could direct you which techs to research to work towards a particular unit/facility. Is this feature inherited in SMAC, and if so, where do i find it? I am somewat confused with the SMAC researching system.

I NEED HAB COMPLEXES!!

this is a LONG list.. nevermind, your not going to get the list, i just asw how long it is... but i'll tell you where to get a great prog which will show u how to get every tech, facility, r whatever.. it isn't to big.. so just go here, place it in your smac directory, and run it.... http://www.sidgames.com/ac/files/infofiles.cfm they had a really good one there.. but unfortunately... it isn't working for some reason.. they have some other charts they r just hard to follow

Hab Complexes immediately require Industrial Automation tech.

Industrial Automation requires both Industrial Economics and Planetary Networks techs.

Planetary Networks requires Information Networks, a base-level tech.

Industrial Economics requires Industrial Base, a base-level tech.

So, from bottom up:

Indust --> Indust Econ
Info Nets --> Planet Nets
Indust Econ + Planet Nets --> Indust Auto

Clear?

The datalinks confuse rather than aid my decisions. I want to work towards the prerequisite tech so that i can build habs, but all that i am allowed to choose is either discovery/knowledge/conquer/build.
How can i choose specific techs to research ie. Industrial Automation

I'll take pity on your problem, since i know that all but the ONE tech tree that u really need is up.. meaning the good one is lost somewhere on the net.
here goes .. this is what is needed for the hab dome.. i assume u already have hab complexes.. those r what u need to get to a size of 14.. u need had domes for anything above that-
aplied physics
biogenitics
doctrine mobility
industrial base
inf. networks
social pysch
doc: flexibility
doc: loyalty
ethical calculus
high energy chemistry
industrial economics
nonlinear mathematics
planetary networks
polymorphic software
adv. subatomic theory
gene splicing
industrial automation
intellictual integrity
optical computers
adv. military algorithms
cyberethics
doctrine initive
silksteel alloys
superconductor
synthetic fossil fuels
applied relativity
doc: air power
pre-sentient algorithms
superstring theory
fusion power
monopole magnets
orbital spacefilght
photon wave mechanics
organic superlubricant
probability mechanics
adv. spaceflight
nanometallurgy
matter compression
super tensile solids (the hab dome at last)

If you want to choose specific techs and not just build discover etc. ther's an option in the customisable rule change before you start, blind tech research

Not that both Ind. Auto. and Super Tensile are Build advances, so if you have blind research on, keep your priorities on Build if you're desperate for these.

Whoaaa..that's one heck of a list, trip
