configurable research in editor

[P1tta]

Hey there
tl;dr:
add a customizable research in editor mode for a better testing expierience

so basically when designing (early game) designs it would be great to be able to research a dummy technology that can be configurable for packs and duration of the research

it would be very nice to be able to account for the power cost of the labs running and to see how many labs you need to consume science packs produced.

thx but these mods dont satisfy my needs - i am mostly insterested in the power consumptions rates (also at times where not all labs are running)

That's really a simple calculation.

yes it can all be calculated - but why even have an editor if you say it can be done by manual work i dont see the reason to do every step by hand
