Is everyone allowed to spam like that in here?

Hmmh, that will be useful when searching easily copy+past quotes from SMAC... Nice

I'd actually like to have a collection of the scientific blurb that accompanies each tech. You can't find those in the game F1 datalinks and they're not in the manual so far as I know.

I always found it pretty cool how they would put in plausible scientific explanations for the tech tree. Somehow it would even make more sense than Civilization's techs, some of which seemed conceptually pretty desperate at best (Invention and Leadership, anybody?).

The site contains the quote: "Red-hot iron, white-hot iron, cold-black iron; an iron taste, and iron smell, and a Babel of iron sounds.

Charles Dickens
Bleak House"

Where in the game is this taken from?

Hobbes

Yes. An indexing of quotes w/tech advances would be a nice addition. SWAG - Industrial Automation (Build 3)?
