User:MarkTraceur/Tech tree idea

NakedFury and I are brainstorming about a tech tree mod.

General idea

Make crafting more interesting and varied

Implementation

Use blueprints (copiable with paper), some kind of research bench (with the capacity to use up resources over time and produce a result once enough have been consumed), and large amounts of resources to progress the technology in the game. You need a blueprint to craft more high-tech things. Maybe use a special craft bench to allow this kind of crafting? (what about factories?)
