while attempting to mod the files, i noticed that all the techs are just squished to gether.
I myself am not a pprogrammer, but going by the fact that the planet names file is in a list format, it should be possible to do the same for the other files.
i originally got the idea from stardocks galactic civilizations 2 game, try downloading one of the free mods under tech to see what i mean by this. the files can easily be opened with notepad, even though they are xml files.
By sorting them by type, and putting them a list like format, they become much easier to modify.

Not having played any of the PC only star dock games, it is unclear to me what you are suggesting should be changed.
techs.txt can be opened with any decent text editor.

I suspect the problem is that Eagle18 is using Notepad. Notepad is not a decent text editor, and cannot be used for editing FreeOrion content script files.eleazar wrote:techs.txt can be opened with any decent text editor.
