          What is fixed?

          The research display UI incorrectly visualizes research dependencies, by showing some not existing ones. This mod corrects that logic to ensure all dependencies are displayed as intended.

          Usually it is not seen, except the research has multiple dependencies on a second and next steps and there dependency items has "upper" steps of research dependencies too.

          Instead of many words several pictures that shows the difference.

          Vanilla research lines and items

          There is how to looks vanilla research screen. Let's focus on the Ship Mods research lines.
