I'm experimenting with continuously firing beam laser turrets.
The laser-turret-speed tech chain doesn't make any sense in this context and creates problems.

I changed the effects to 0 as a workaround, but it's still visible and researchable.
How can i remove that tech chain from the game in a mod?

I'm not 100%, but I think you add the tag enabled = false to the technology.

That worked, thanks a lot!

Completely removing the tech will affect all turrents including modded ones tho. So unless you're planning to procedurally replace and rebalance all turrents added by any mod a player has installed...this might not be a wise choice. Also you're then relying on mods loaded after yours to not reenable it ^^.

That's true but it's more of a prove of concept at this point. I'm not even sure that i like it better than Klonan's version.
And it creates problems like the attack speed research and broken damage tooltips.
