One of the things I found recently that I really like is that you can disable the game pausing in the tech screen. It's a bit hidden, but:

In the main menu, hold ctrl+shift while clicking settings. Then click "the rest". You can then disable the checkbox behind "technology-gui-pauses-game" and confirm.

Be careful though there are some settings in there that can really mess up your game.

Does it disable achievements?

[–] wellbuddyweek@lemm.ee 2 points 2 weeks ago

It shouldn't, but to be honest, I haven't reached the requirements for an achievement yet since doing this, so I can't tell you with absolute certainty

Hey, just to get back to you. Just got an achievement with this enabled. Works fine! Even registered in Steam properly.

Thanks, great! I also changed this setting a few days ago, because it just feels bad if the factory stands still just because I am picking a new technology to research.

That's amazing! Thanks for that tip!
