Hi,
does anybody know an editor which allows me to alter the research time. I can use xcomutil for that but - as far as I can see - only when using the research help by aliens option and modifying the xcomutilcfg-file. I'm just looking for an easier way. Any advice would be appreciated. R. |

You could just edit your game so that you have just already researched it... if you're gonna cheat, might as well go all the way.

You got me wrong.
I want to increase the research time for certain techs. Esspecially those which are the foundation for further research. I think the research time for allien alloys and elerium (an element not even found in the solar system) is way too short. |

Research them and then use an editor to un-research them so it doubles the time.

Or just put a very few scientists on the job. It'll have the same effect.

The research from aliens is probably the way to go. Research moves at a snail's pace if you don't capture several aliens. Tried it once thinking that it would make game go faster. Took 2 months to get alien alloys without capturing any aliens.
Could also play a human tech only game. Just do the research so you can built an Avenger later in the game to go to Cydonia and blast the alien brain with a heavy cannon. -------------------- "Guns aren't toys.
