| table of tech values at different levels? |

Is there a formula, or table that shows the value of each of the different techs at different levels, and for cheap, normal and expensive.
the players guide says it is fibonacci, but does not give a starting point.
I know there is also a factor for how much tech you already have, as well. 10 extra resources per tech.
I could start a new game, and research these numbers myself, but a spreadsheet with the numbers (or formula) might already be out there....

4.3) GUTS OF RESEARCH COSTS.
The cost of a tech level depends on four things:
1) Your research setting for that field (cheap, normal, or expensive)
2) The level you are researching (higher level, higher cost)
3) The total number of tech levels you have already have in all fields (you can add it up yourself, or look at 'tech levels' on the 'score' screen).
4) whether 'slow tech advance' was selected as a game parameter.
in general,
totalCost=(baseCost + (totalLevels * 10)) * costFactor
where totalLevels=the sum of your current levels in all fields
costFactor =.5 if your setting for the field is '50% less'
=1 if your setting for the field is 'normal'
=1.75 if your setting for the field is '75% more expensive'
If 'slow tech advance' is a game parameter, totalCost should be doubled.
Below is a table showing the base cost of each level.
Level Cost Level Cost
1 50 14 18040
2 80 15 22440
3 130 16 27050
4 210 17 31870
5 340 18 36900
6 550 19 42140
7 890 20 47590
8 1440 21 53250
9 2330 22 59120
10 3770 23 65200
11 6100 24 71490
12 9870 25 77990
13 13850 26 84700
It's a Fibonacci series up to level 12, then it levels out
quite a bit. To get all 6 categories to TL26: (at all normal cost):
4,185,240
This includes the 10/level additional cost, and assumes all tech areas
start at TL0.
