Issue with Biotechnology 2 prerequisites due to Arthropod Blood voiding #1391
Description
Goal
Reconsider the placement of arthropod blood->organic solvent recipe.
Why?
All of these 4 technologies are entirely optional at the stage of the game where you have them available, but they are still required as prerequisites to Biotech 2, because the arthropod blood->organic solvent voiding recipe needs cumene. While I love the fact that you get all the prereqs for the recipe is it really the best place for said recipe? Especially that the player is very likely to just store the purple blood until they need to make hydrogen peroxide instead of using a void recipe? Not to mention the fact the entire bio-oil chain here feels very forced upon the player by the tech tree without offering anything really useful, at least until much later in the game when quartz tubes have a more reasonable cost.
Steps to achieve? (if known)
