What is the problem?

These are the starting techs for a full Py run. The four ones with later techs shouldn't show there, obviously. I think this is mostly caused by the efficiency module and stack inserter renaming that 2.0 did.

I also think the radar is weirdly placed, since it requires circuits to craft, which are later in the progression.

Uranium is also made available too early, depending only on Concrete. I assume it's the same underlying issue.

Another possibly broken one: The lamp doesn't depend on glass. I don't remember if it did in 1.1

Ah the radar one just shouldn't exist, the proper one comes later in the proper place.

Oil well also seems a bit premature.

The common pattern seems to be that these are base Factorio techs that are missing their additional Py dependencies?

I spent some time trying to debug this. It appears that the cached configs haven't been properly re-generated for Factorio 2.0. An obvious error is here where the cache still refers to "optics" instead of "lamp" as the technology name.

Unfortunately my attempts to force pypostprocessing into dev mode ended in exciting back traces and all sorts of sadness, so I can't confirm that the correct tech tree would be generated without the caches.

Perhaps related: Both Storage Tanks and Niobium unlock niobium pipes.

In other words, you get the recipe for niobium pipes as soon as you research storage tanks.
