It is nice, but the Rocket defense and probably some more items like Power armor mk2 etc. have some 'hidden requirements' Not for the research, but they are there if you want to build it.

Would actually be nice to have something like this ingame. Doesnt have to be fancy or anything. But it gives you a nice timeline of what you need to get where. instead of having to click 30 random techs atm.

Very convenient, thanks about that

BTW, some offtopic (maybe I don't need to open a new thread if someone knows): I saw someone posting kind of a "cheat sheet" in some thread to help with planning assembly lines. It shows what you need for a certain number of items, say, how many copper wires for three advanced circuit board assemblies (if I understood it correctly). Can't find it anymore though has someone seen that thread around? Any help would be appreciated

Ingame techtree is planned for version 0.12, lets hope we can make it

we placed some links here: https://forums.factorio.com/wiki/index.php?title=News

Search for cheatsheet.

Updated for 0.10.12.

Now with recipe ingredients!

Thanks for posting. that's really cool

This is really cool. However I think for a tech tree like Factorio's a web would work much much better, as it would both look nicer and be easier to see what requires what and how far out you are from something else.

For reference here's a picture of Endless Space's tech web:

Year, a circular form makes sense somehow.

I don't want to get technical (well actually I do), but that is not a tree and neither is the Civ 5 tech "tree". This is a DAG - Directed Acyclic Graph. Directed because the connections have direction - they are one way. Acyclic because there are no cycles - loops. And Graph because well it's a graph. Every tree is a DAG, but not all DAGs are trees. This is not a tree because some vertices have more than one parent - some technologies have more than one requirement.
This is a tree.

To be technically correct (which is the best kind of correct, obviously :-) ) not all trees are directed, so your statement "Every tree is a DAG" is not true :-)

Hi ! I just discovered your job, it's very nice and useful... Thanks !

Yeah, I misspoke. What I should have said is that every tree can be made into a DAG by just assigning some direction to each edge. And since for these types of technological progressions the requirements are always one way (directed), any tree that you would use would be directed and therefore a DAG.

P.S. I looked trough all my posts out of boredom and saw this and decided to reply even though one year has passed.

Hello!

Geed the great job!

Update it to 0.13!

Updated for 0.13. I went with a more Civ2 style this time.

Have you considered making the same for production? Starting with coal, wood and ores at the top and then going down the list of items and buildings you can build from that?

I cannot repeat how useful this is.

Little suggestion: Add prototype-name anywhere (a bit hidden), so that someone can copy/paste the tech-names directly from here.
