Tech acquisition costs are not calculated in a linear fashion. Cutting edge technologies (techs close to the top tech) are much more expensive to acquire.

But both technologies were top level ones.
While looking at this i noticed that on firm's technology raport, top tech for Leather Belt is not displayed correctly. When i want to start new research of Leather Belt it also shows Top Tech 159.

If an AI company needs cash, and it proactively sells a tech to another AI company, it may offer a much lower price for the tech. This is something that tech focused companies have to do in order to survive.

Top tech is the top tech of product in production or sale.
Actual tech is your top developed tech. If you haven't applied it to factories, top tech will be lower.

Yes, that seems to be correct. I loaded savegame, and checked that the only companies that had tech at 184 level were Tech companies. Companies making that product were at 159.GonzoG wrote: This report might be correct.
