Notes

Note that a research can be enabled at game start by including the Tech ID in "preresearchedTechIds": [],
The legacy method to accomplish the same was by using the flag "isPreResearched": true,
Note that a research can be disabled at game start by including the Tech ID in "disabledTechIds": []
The full definition of an existing research must be included or it will be overwritten.

The order of Tech Categories in the Research Panel can be changed in ui.json per ModUI
Note that for each new Tech Category in a mod, if no entry is in ui.json, a corresponding panel will be placed after the last entry in ui.json

Techs can unlock other Tech and/or Buildings. Some also have unique fields.
