A lightweight quality-of-life mod for Kerbal Space Program (1.12.5) that displays the required Tech Tree node directly at the top of a part's hover description in the VAB and SPH.
Designed with large overhaul mods like RP-1 and Community Tech Tree in mind, it saves you from having to right-click for extended info or cross-reference the R&D building just to figure out what tech level a part belongs to.
Features
Instant Info: Prepends the Tech Node name (in bright mint green) to the top of part descriptions.
Universal Compatibility: Dynamically scans the game's database on load, meaning it works flawlessly with Stock KSP, RP-1, Skyhawk, Community Tech Tree, and any custom tech tree.
Highly Optimized: Runs exactly once during the Main Menu loading screen. It does not run per-frame, ensuring zero lag or frame drops in the VAB.
