nachos on the moon
i wanna try to get Mexico to win the Space Race but have no idea what techs to research to do it. the ones required for each stage of the Space Race don't offer much hint as to their preqrequisites, so i have no idea where to begin other than a flight tech of some sort in the Warfare group Mexico can research right off the bat. and suggestions?

Re: nachos on the moon
You probably need to bump mexico up a couple tech levels before being able to research Aerospace fabrication. Just try to research techs that unlock era techs, which is what you need. Also, you probably need to research a bunch of military aircraft techs. All in All if you spend some money at it and get a couple facilities plus trades, you should reach the moon around 1967 or a little later.

Re: nachos on the moon
ya i've got my economy positive and growing to allow buying bonusless techs when i can and my research funding is maxed. so far so good.

Re: nachos on the moon
If you are able to see a tech but don't have the prerequisites (which I didn't think you could but I have been wrong before) then if you just go ahead and research that tech it will automatically queue up all the technologies that lead up to it as well. Same goes with any unit designs you come across!

Re: nachos on the moon
I checked and it turns out that as you get close to some unit designs they will actually display even without all the prequisits unlocked. And like I said, if you just try and research them direclty it will queue all the prior techs for you!

Generally if your pre-patch games are borked, they are well and truley borked, and you have to start a fresh game.

Re: nachos on the moon
i lucked out and a fresh install fixed it and my saved games were still there. unfortunately the United States is a good bit ahead of me in the space race and unless they detour into other pursuits they'll beat me to it.

Sabotage literally every single research facility that they have, as well as performing espionage on any that are waiting to be broken!

Re: nachos on the moon
Anyone know if as of today the Space Race techs/related buildings are still only in the game for the Space Race victory condition? I'm playing 7.2.2
It was such a let down after playing my first game as Mexico - catching up to and beating both US/USSR in the Space Race research (currently researching Escape Velocity, they seem to still be in Modern Ballistic Missiles) - and then coming here to see why wasn't I able to build any recon satellites at all after getting Reconnaissance Satellites tech and then finding out that Sats aren't part of the core game ='(.
Is getting that satellites mod still the only option or am I missing something?
Edit: forgot to mention I do have all the spacerace related buildings up to mission control/orbital telemetry.

Re: nachos on the moon
Sats are just a mod (Fistalis' Modern World Mod). If you load his mod, you can build sats when you get the prereq techs, even in the 1949 campaign
