Just wanted to know if it's by design that any science production that exceed the current requirements for selected tech are discarded instead of saved for the next tech.



I.E. If I'm producing 15K Science/turn and only 7K is needed for the current tech and 7K for the next queued tech I only unlock 1 tech at a time instead of having both researched simultaneously.

It's applied to the next tech in queue. If there is no next tech in queue then it's wasted.



The same principle holds true for the production queue.

The same principle holds true for the production queue.

So just to clarify:

Any excess research for the current tech is added to the next queued (2nd) tech. If the excess research exceeds the 2nd queued tech requirements then you get this on the following turn:





However you still can't complete more than 1 research in the same turn unlike Endless Space, correct?

Amp: Could you please change this so that we are not penalized for not having something in queue? This bit of micro-management is a bit annoying. Combined with the bug for not being able to unselect techs, I end up not being able to switch quickly sometimes.
