Re: [0.15.3] Infinite Research Requirements Seem to Cap.

That's the maximum value for a 64-bit signed integer.
You can make some questionably efficient moves like using a 128-bit unsigned, but it would only delay the problem by a couple dozen of science levels.

Only real way to get around this would be not storing it as a single integer, but that could have a lot of problems. Better to just leave it as-is.

That's the limit :P you can't reach it in your lifetime anyway so I challenge you to actually break it without console commands before the heat death of the universe :)
If you want to get ahold of me I'm almost always on Discord.
