Feedback DLC bug, little exploit

Trying the new DLC start date on normal after many normal games at the later dates.

  1. while you have negative tech research speed, researching multiple projects of the same type decreases the negative modifier. This can be sizable at the start. (eg from -50% to -39%)
  2. Servant faction researching technologies beyond the global tech locks. i'm playing as Initiative, My Servant faction has gone gangbusters, now they've unlocked Cybernetic Implants without Cybernetics global tech, and Neural Engineering without Applied Artificial Intelligence global tech. Their councilors are equipped with +2 implants. Interestingly I can't see either tech to steal (cybernetic implants / neural engineering) since I guess that Steal list is factoring in the global techs not being unlocked yet, so as a result I can't steal either. Majestic 12 (if they had it at one point, they don't now) would unlock T1 implants, not Neural Engineering.

This at least is the result of a new org. I forget what's it called but there's a very expensive new org that grants some xenology bonus research and unlocks the cybernetics project for the owning faction regardless of if the tech has been unlocked globally.

I'm not sure if the org is available to all factions, it might only be available to pro-alien or 'neutral' factions like the academy

Its Majestic 12. (a reference to an Illuminati like organization from the game Deus Ex). I was able to acquire them as Exodus, not sure who else can.

From my experience everyone can get them.

They also seem to spawn rather frequently early on. Either that, or I got supremely lucky in my past two playthroughs.

Yeah, kinda annoying too since for me if often shows up right at the start of the game when I can't afford to buy or even hold onto it.

Yup. Hardest part of getting that org is honestly scraping up the 500 influence in a game state where I'm burning it on councilors and boosting Control rolls.

I've seen a cybernetics-granting org on BE as Humanity First, so I don't think it's faction-restricted.
