Energy Weapons Damage 3 should include chemical science

[n_slash_a]

I would expect the research progression for Energy weapons damage and Laser turret shooting speed to be:
1 & 2 - Automation/Logistics/Military
3 & 4 - Automation/Logistics/Military/Chemical
5 & 6 - Automation/Logistics/Military/Chemical/Utility

However, for Energy weapons damage, level 3 only requires Automation/Logistics/Military (and not Chemical). Laser turret shooting speed 3 does include Chemical.

Not quite. That issue is about research prerequisites, this one is about science packs required to perform the research.

Yes you are correct. I guess I didn't read closely enough in this post.

I actually appreciate some irregularities in the research tree, having some items that are a bargain while others are more of a blocker.

I agree with this. In fact I'd argue the biggest problem with infinite research is the regularity of research making it too easy to explicitly optimise. I'd love if each level as it became available randomised the ratio of each pack between 0 and 2. Combine this with a circuit provider that output signals equal to the current research recipe ratios and you could add in being able to intelligently turn on and off sections of factory as needed. I love seeing factories as they switch between production priorities but it all gets a bit static by the end.
