[Request] Full base game tech tree in one big picture

[Mendel]

What I'd like to do is to print a factorio tech tree to an A3 sized paper. For this I would need a picture with full tech tree with all the base game technologies. Is this already available somewhere? Is it possible to automate making such a thing? I thought I would ask before I use some hours to hand craft it

DaveMcW made a nice tech tree visualization you can start with: http://davemcw.com/factorio/tech-tree/

I was not able to find an image with the entire 0.15 technology tree. It is possible to automate making the thing; the raw data can be found in the game's folder under data\base\prototypes\technology\technology.lua

I also found some comments for 0.14 basically saying it's not possible to layout the graph in a way where no lines cross.

Thank you!

The wiki has this image of the entire tech tree.

That's from 0.14 and the one from this thread lol:

I have contacted Oxyd and asked him remake it for 0.15, but sadly he hasn't responded. I talked to Rseding yesterday to find out how the picture was created and got the following answer:

[Oxyd] changed it so the GUI would show all the connections then took screenshots and stitched them together.

How many major technological changes (other than adding infinite research) were made in 0.15? Could we theoretically Photoshop a few changed pictures on there, throw on or take off a few lines, and then add the science pack pictures?

If yes, unfortunately I won't have the ability to do that for about 2 weeks.

Made minor modification for better printable layout based DaveMcW's visualization of the tech tree.
mspaint powarrrr. I like the idea of science bottle color based background things.

Once I get the hang of Gimp, I might add a non-black background as well

Yeah, how is having a black background more printer friendly?
