"Nothing" (custom) technology modifier needs dynamism

[Reika]

By that I mean that it needs to support having numbers and other variables inlined (the "__1__" thing), not just "effect key" which can only ever map to a static string. Without this it is basically worthless, as the only way to show the effect is to hardcode things in the lang files, which is impossible in the case of configurable values or automatic calculation.

Just put the description in the description of the technology. The effect portion isn't needed when you're doing all of the logic script side anyway.

The description can be set in the data script to what ever you want.

I think he meant this:
"effect_key" of "nothing" tech modifier accepts LocalisedStr

Currently only string is accepted. Giving it a localised string will throw error.

Yes, that is what I mean.

If you want an effect like vanilla has (eg "Turret Range: +1"), then doing it in the description is not an option.

I changed it for 0.16 so it's a localized string.
