techweb_node

A datum representing a researchable node in the techweb.

Techweb nodes are GLOBAL, there should only be one instance of them in the game. Persistant changes should never be made to them in-game. USE SSRESEARCH PROCS TO OBTAIN REFERENCES.

Vars
announce_channels	If set, the researched node will be announced on these channels by an announcement system with 'announce_research_node' set to TRUE when researched by the station. Not every node has to be announced if you want, some are best kept a little "subtler", like Illegal Weapons.
category	The category of the node
description	A description of the node to show on UIs
discount_boosts	Boost quantities from non-experiment sources (i.e., toxins papers). Indexed by point type to boost amount (with only one boost per point type).
discount_experiments	If completed, these experiments give a specific point amount discount to the node.
display_name	The name of the node as it is shown on UIs
experiments_to_unlock	When this node is completed, allows these experiments to be performed.
node_flags	Behavior flags for this techweb node.
prerequisite_nodes	A list of nodes required to be unlocked to research this node. Made associative in New() for faster lookups.
required_experiments	The list of experiments required to research the node
required_items_to_unlock	List of items you need to deconstruct to unlock this node.
research_costs	The points cost to research the node, type = amount
unlocked_designs	A list of design typepaths that this node unlocks. Made associative in New() for faster lookups.
unlocked_nodes	A list of nodes that we unlock. Auto-generated by SSresearch.
Procs
is_free	If this node requires 0 points to research
on_station_research	Proc called when the Station (Science techweb specific) researches a node.
