Description

In the tech three, some of the options are grayed out and unselectable until both of its prereqs are met, though most are still viewable. Some options can be claimed with science without the prereqs being met (see screenshot). The parts it offers are all available and don't seem to cause any issues when used. It doesn't seem to be related to the item being grayed out; Nuclear Propulsion was grayed, but one of the bottom ones was not, but still claimable without prereqs.

Version: 0.25.0.642 (Steam)

I've attached a butt-load of info. If you need anything else, let me know.

Ah yes, I fell for the exact same thing when I reported this bug. The game would make you think that you need both prerequisites to research a tech, but alas certain techs only require one of their prerequisites. (See Wiki on techs http://wiki.kerbalspaceprogram.com/wiki/Tech_tree) Perhaps this issue needs to be restated in feedback ;D, I have you covered there.

Huh, interesting. Thanks for letting me know!

The whole of tier 6 of the tech tree can be researched with only one lower requirement. With the recent changes that 0.90 brings, this becomes more apparent.

This is believed to be a bug, and the status is changed accordingly.

The tech tree was revamped for 1.0.5, now all nodes either require any of their prerequisites (if more than one) or all, and this is marked in the R&D screen, the only nodes requiring all prerequisites are nuclear and ion propulsion.

Thanks for the report :)
