Engineers can build Tech4 (Experimentals) from the beginning.
I also checked the blueprint categorie to be sure.
As example the categories from the Experimental Assault Bot (BEL0402):
- Code: Select all
Categories = {
'PRODUCTSC1',
'SELECTABLE',
'BUILTBYTIER3ENGINEER',
'BUILTBYTIER3COMMANDER',
'BUILTBYTIER4COMMANDER',
'UEF',
}
So the experimental can build by Tech3 Engineer (including subcommanders) and Tier3+4 ACU's (Tech upgrade 2 or 3)

Tech3 UEF Energygenerator:
Masscost: 3240
Buildtime: 02:01
EnergyOutput: 2500
Tech3 Bo Hydrocarbon
Masscost 3000
Buildtime: 01:28
EnergyOutput: 3000
Also if i look at the latest changelog:

T3 Pgens wheren't changed.
Maybe i missunderstand you but the Hydro is cheaper, faster to build and has more energyoutput.
