Tech tree research prerequisites

from Sins Forums

Hello fellow sins modders.

 

Does anyone know how to link tech in the research tree together? For example: say I want a Defense research item available at 1 lab level, with two research levels in total, become the prerequisite for a tech at 3 lab level. All two levels need to be researched before the 3 lab level item becomes available.

How would I add this in? I am kind of at a loss at the moment. I used the Sins Mod Helper so far, but for some reason it will not save the prerequisite setting, it is removed when I hit the update button.
