Cant pick bio-mechanical hybrid bc xenobiology tech is gone [BongBong]

[openly-retro]

This was part of a series of techs that gave boosts to research job output.

Stellaris devs have reworked all research bonuses so this tech went away.

We can still include it as an option, but it won't give any bonuses ... just to fill the prereqs for bio-mechanical hybrid

tech cost is @tier2cost3 = 6000

tech_society_2 = { cost = @tier2cost3 area = society tier = 2 category = { biology } prerequisites = { "tech_society_1" } weight = @tier2weight3

tech_society_2:0 "Xenobiology" tech_society_2_desc:1 "Studying the life that arises on other worlds and beyond allows us to understand fundamental aspects of biology that were previously beyond our reach."

Possible dependency replacements:

Physics:

• Self-evolving logic (tech_self_aware_logic)

Biology:

• Bio-Reactor
• Bio-mechanics (tech_biomechanics)

Engineering:

• Plasteel Materials (tech_ship_armor_3)
• Improved Servomotors (tech_powered_exoskeletons_machine_intelligence) tech_powered_exoskeletons
• Binary Motivators (tech_binary_motivators)
• Micro Replicators (tech_micro_replicators)

Interesting tech to think about integrating with later:

• Regenerative hull tissue (synth army health +25%)

[openly-retro]

Existing limitations:

Mechanicals:

• tech_gene_tailoring (tier 3 c1)
• tech_cloning (tier2 cost 2)

Machine:

• xvcv_mdlc_tech_organic_base_code_study (tier 3 c1)
• tech_society_2 (needs replacing, was t2c3)

[openly-retro]

For now, settling on a new t2c3 tech, "Bio-Reactor Miniaturization"

fixed in https://github.com/openly-retro/stellaris-machine-robot-expansion/pull/127

Remade Xenobiology with different bonuses
