Generate tech levels using the various resizing and rescaling techs.
-
Constructors of tech level N can build the a tech N+1 version of the factory they are from.
-
Constructors and factories of tech level N build everything at tech level N. Maybe some sort of exception can be made for constructors building non-matching factories (ala TA), idk.
-
Units of higher tech level have multiplied stats.
-
Factory plates build with the tech level of the highest nearby factory.
The multipliers for tech level N+1 could be something like this:
-
2^N cost
-
2.5^N health
-
1.5^N size
-
0.8^N speed
-
1.2^N range
-
1.5^N AoE
-
2^N buildpower
-
3^N energy income
-
1.5^N metal income
Units could also be tinted some angry colour, with increasingly angry colours for higher tech levels. Ideally some sort of auto-embiggening of CEGS would be applied too.
Increasing size is an issue, especially for structures. Perhaps units could just be stretched vertically. I never said this wasn't a silly mod.
I thought
Sprung would enjoy this mod existing, but the mere idea is probably almost as good.
