Making a new mod - what should we do with the Tech: Theory tab?

[Timotheus1]

Right now no one uses them other than the 3 supply theory techs.

How do we make them useful?


Because I am a simple man, I would like to keep all the tabs and names as they are in the tech: theory tab.

Give me some ideas, folks; thanks in advance.

perhaps increasing them could speed reapeat research into the topic specified, instead of some undefined "decay".

Decay is a very defined mechanic, actually, and it indirectly speeds research...

But your idea is something that I am leaning towards - production efficiency...

Removing the penalties for researching them ahead (so you can repeat them constantly instead of it just being 1 every 2 years), or slightly reducing their research time (to like ~90 days vs the current ~120).

Theory is kind of ok as it is though. You can boost research times with it, and the reduced decay makes future research a little faster too. Just sucks that you can't invest in theory more than once every 2 years.
