Requirements and Future Tech

[keykeypi]

Does tech requirement work on future techs?

No, they don't work as real techs enough for the Tech reqs code to handle them. But it's a good idea to somehow add support for them to the requirements system (not sure if we can extend Tech reqs code to handle them, or would this be a completely new requirement type)

Actually you should already be able to use MinTechs requirements for this effect, though it requires a bit more effort than a dedicated requirement type.

Well, it likely works if the tech tree is guaranteed to have no holes and if you first count all the techs in ruleset.

Generally, tech requirements only apply to current or already-unlocked technologies. Future (unresearched) techs usually don’t satisfy those conditions until they're actually completed. Depends on the game or system though — some mods or systems might behave differently.
