What is the problem?

Science Pack Dependencies crashes the game while loading if PyAL is enabled due to errors in the technology tree.

Steps to reproduce

1. Install Science Pack Dependencies, Pyanodon's Alien Life and any dependencies
2. Attempt to launch the game

Additional context

This appears to be caused by ulric-upgrade, melamine, genetic-design and "vatbrain-nk01" (which is likely a typo).

Pyanodons does a large amount of complex logic to ensure all items and technologies are reachable, which includes adding missing tech dependencies in most cases. It's extremely unlikely that this mod will ever be compatible, and even if it was it would serve no purpose.

I agree. This should be an incompatibility if anything. Added here: https://github.com/pyanodon/pypostprocessing/commit/cae4a914d679fbc1ea6aac87626b2538573b65aa
