Technology prototype name - contiguous numbers
Posted: Sun Sep 20, 2026 11:22 am
The technology prototype docs mention how numbers at the end of the name string are handled for localization (See attachment)
But it does not mention that the numbering has to be contigous and the game actually does not load if it's not.
E.g. adding
"technology-1" and "technology-3" will fail loading because "technology-2" is not present.
I think this information is quite important and should be mentioned.
This may sound obvious but there are some cases where this case can happen for mods and it was surprising at first that it does not load to more than just myself.
