Started new game in 1.07.05 version and took slower research and low starting tech, I got confused right away that my economic council was progressing way slower on research than my military one (and I hired him 1st). I noticed that military research takes 1.6 BP to get 1%, economy took 8bp per%. So I tough "ok, same tier/techbox has different cost per council, thats odd but oh well". Then I started research on RPG wich is "t2 tech" and it cost as much as economy councils solar power (8bp per%), after that i started researching filters wich is also "t2" but now it costs again 1.6 BP per%. Now im really confused if this is bug and some techs are not converted to slower game speed or this is intentional? Could we please get research cost on the tooltips as the tech place on the tree has nothing to do with its costs? Really got me confused when military research was giving 4 tech before economy got 1.

Short version, please add research cost on the tooltips (among other things).

Made similiar post earlier regarding the lack of tech tree info, but wont allow to link.

Still loving the game but also very confused from time to time!

+1, I have no idea what the individual tech costs are based on but there isn't any way to find out until you start researching them...

You can see the tech costs in the technology report. Click a tech and you get a description and the BP cost. It should really be in the tech tree tooltip, yes.

Except the report doesn't list techs you haven't discovered yet...

Yep, the older post just noted stuff that you can find in manual, and even there they are often vague. These things could be in some other places too for "quality of life" improvements ^^
