Tech tree UI could be improved
There is lots of free space in the tech tree and the overall structure could be improved upon. It's hard to get a good overview and lots of scrolling is involved. I fill like there is some room for improvement here.

Headings or separate sheets might be helpful. Without them, I was searching for operators as a topic area. Therefore, I was confused that the drone updates were in different places. Only later did I notice that it's divided by speed and quantity, for example, which is why there are two separate sections for drones. -

LunaMaybe it could help separating it into tiers (the colours of research points), splitting it into several pages like upgrades and new buildings and adding a search function. making the tree more linear could help too

JezzyAgreed; It needs to be way more compact. Right now I find it really confusing and overwhelming to use. As a starter, maybe they could hide the things you can't unlock for now?

Thomas Giles (tapgiles)Another take: there's a lot on there. Maybe it could be a bit more compact so there's less scroll, but I don't think that would mean it's easier to read and find things. Because at a certain point, all those nodes and all that text needs to be in the map.
I think they're planning on adding a search which will help. Meanwhile, I sorta made my own: https://tapgiles.com/modulus/tech-tree/ Use the browser to pan/zoom/search for nodes in the tree. I've found it quite useful to find upgrades I'm looking for.
