From earlier threads I got the impression that you needed to disassemble a significant quantity of each before finally getting the tech, but I could be wrong.But he is saying that he has the tech but has no place in the design tech window to design the tech. He's asking if you have to do something else to unlock the ability to design "advanced" techs.
Is it that these tech only become available for design if you come across them in game (similar to dwarf fortress wont let you use magma forges etc, until you actually come across a supply of it, you cant just hack in a few tiles of it to use.) Or is my game just bugged?Magma forges are buildable by players, the prerequisite is you need to dig down and discover the magma sea or find a volcano, I think if you cheat and use DF hack it doesn't count, then you just need a magma safe stone and a hole containing 4/7 or more magma under any tile but the center.
Also glancing through. The description for advanced railguns is nice and explanatory, but advanced lasers and carronades dont actually say whats different about themIf I remember right, it changes the power and range like the regular focal size but with a smaller package (ie advanced 15cm = regular 25cm [not accurate but you get the idea]).
