[2.1.17] Hidden Technology becomes visible once it is triggered
Posted: Thu Sep 03, 2026 10:43 pm
Consider this technology prototype:
This works fine and the technology is not visible in the tech tree (so I can have other technology depend on it which in turn becomes researchable when this gets unlocked).
However, if I place a roboport, I get a "secret-gate researched" alert on the screen and afterwards it is visible in the tech tree.
I would have expected that "hidden" means hidden (i.e. does not fire alerts and does not become visible in the tech tree).
Code: Select all
{
type = "technology",
name = "secret-gate",
hidden = true,
research_trigger = {
type = "build-entity",
entity = "roboport"
}
}
However, if I place a roboport, I get a "secret-gate researched" alert on the screen and afterwards it is visible in the tech tree.
