Is there any way to direct your ppl to "Discover" one of the early Power Plants so I can build energy? Sheesh...My economy is hummin along but I need energy!!!!

Researching 3 techs in a tech box unlocks the next boxes. In order to guarantee a tech, you have to stop unlocking new tech boxes until you've discovered it.

How do I stop unmlocking a techbox? Im afraid its already unlocked as I have discovered Vidcom or whatver it is

Early game you need to prioritize 'Discovery' in research.
Once you get what you need/want you can then slide towards more 'Research' & less 'Discovery'.
It is a timing thing & forces you to pay attention to it.

As stated, once you complete research in any 3 techs in a particular block then other blocks will open up.
I, generally, set 'Discovery' between 80 to 100% early game & adjust accordingly as the game/research progresses.

I will add, if you do miss particular tech early it will still have a chance to get researched...just not when you may want it to.

All basic techs will get researched in time.
At least that is my experience.

OK well I have it pretty high right n9ow too as I need SOMEthing to generate some energy lol

I understand, I have a friend who was always stressing about not getting 'Power Plants' or 'Solar Energy'.
Once he learned of the method to enhance his chances, all was well.
Such are the hazards of not reading the manual & or these forums. [:)]

Anyways...good luck & have fun.
