New beta update to the tech tree:
– Replaced basic research technologies such as Quantum Theory with Breakthrough Technologies. Breakthrough Technologies will only appear once you have researched enough techs of your current tier and are required to research to reach the next tier.
– Breakthrough Technologies become easier to research based on the number of other empires you have low Tech intel on that have already researched them.
– Enigmatic Engineering blocks your Breakthrough Technologies from spreading.

Popular mod Technology Ascendant:
– This adds thirteen breakthrough technologies, one for each specialization (particles, materials, biology, etc)
– Breakthroughs have a unique spread system, and depending on your relationship with your neighbors you are more or less likely to learn their secrets over time.
– The Enigmatic Engineering perk however will block breakthrough spread.
