Beta 4 0.71.1 Typos in Yor Tech Tree

I don't remember if this was reported before, but there are some typos in the Yor Power Matrix techs:

 And here's another one in the tooltip for theHyperion Logistics System, Reduses should be Reduces.

And while I'm finding typos, here's one in the Malevolent Ideology tree:

"efficant" should be "efficient".  Note also the clipping of the text that is so common.

And not a typo, but the tooltip for Barren World Mastery says Frozen instead of Barren.

Yes, it should be RepYORductive Augmentation.

Kind of not related, and I might be wrong but:

Aren't single research techs supposed to be rectangular and multi-research techs oval-shaped? Or am I just assuming things?

I can't seem to figure out otherwise why some multi-research techs are a mixture of both.

These are pretty embarrassing, rookie mistakes.

Those are just XML typos.  Don't worry about them.  There is no deep mystery; it's just a typo (or several).

Stardock has no "GC3 tree of buildables" tree editor, so they use one big fat Excel file.  Humans are poor at manually enforcing tree-wide consistency from raw source code.  Hence we go to such lengths to build compilers (including TeX/LaTeX) and application-specific editors (CAD, Visio/PowerPoint/graphics, spreadsheets, home/online tax prep), and leverage them to achieve great things.  We make spell-checkers, too ;)

Maybe after GC3 stabilizes, Stardock will retroactively develop a tree-editor, use it to fully express the power of their XML scripting engine, and build DLCs, GC4, and other games on top of it.  For now, it's lower priority than the new graphics engine, battle viewer, and AI, which are the things they brag/wow about in dev streams.

I've also noticed many instances of words and phrases not fitting into their labels and being cut off on the  top and bottom.  I assume all this will be taken care of pre-release.

Updated original post with a few more.

Thanks for posting the typos. :)

Another thing I noticed, when you research the radioactive mastery tech, you end up getting the 50% research bonus on toxic worlds and vice versa with the radioactive mastery tech (only checked that for the YOR). So not so much typo, but also something typically human... :grin:

Some of it/most of it will be corrected by release. Not all of it. They are not spelling and grammar experts and I believe there were always a few typos etc that remained in GCII
