Description: The 'Omega Theory' tech from the Worm-in-Waiting event chain is not appearing in the list of researchable techs.
DLC's: Leviathans, Utopia, Horizon Signal (obviously), Plantoids
Mods: None
Reproduction Steps:
1. Complete the Horizon Signal events up until you get the 'Doctrine: Strange Loop' and 'Entropic Recursion' techs.
2. Research those two techs.
3. Wait.
I waited several in-game decades after getting both of the previous techs from the event chain, but Omega Theory didn't show up. I also tried save scumming, but that didn't work either.
(This issue has been mentioned in passing on other threads, but I wanted to make a proper post for it because it seemed important.)
Potential Fix:
(From Pilatian's post below.) I think we should revert some lines in common/technology/00_horizonsignal_tech.txt. In 1.4.1, 'Omega Theory' had the following lines:
tech_akx_worm_3 = {
...
prerequisites = { "tech_akx_worm_1" "tech_akx_worm_2" }
weight = 60
...
weight_modifier = {
modifier = {
factor = 1.25
research_leader = {
area = physics
has_trait = "leader_trait_expertise_voidcraft"
}
}
}
...
}
In 1.5, they were replaced with this:
tech_akx_worm_3 = {
...
prerequisites = { "tech_akx_worm_1" "tech_akx_worm_2" }
weight = 0
...
weight_modifier = {
modifier = {
add = 60
has_technology = tech_akx_worm_1
has_technology = tech_akx_worm_2
}
}
}
But I don't think the "add = X" weight modifier does anything. No other tech uses that modifier, except for 'Crystal-Infused Plating', and I think that tech must be salvaged from crystal debris. It looks like someone was trying to optimize the file (there were some other changes, like removing some unused code) but ended up breaking the quest line instead. One possible fix would just be to revert this to its previous version.
Edit: Updated DLCs.
