draft of the suggestion:
side scrolling would still be a thing, but it would not be as noticeable.
plus of doing the research screen like this is that each sub category, like “Faster Drying” in the example above can be minimized so that you only see the frist prerequisite research instead of the entire list down that research branch.
as mentioned in the previous post, for Product Features that require a Station Specialization to be unlocked you can split the screen horizontally and have 2 tabs combined into 1 essentially, you just have to do a little bit more vertical scrolling, but it would solve the problem of having to swap tabs and look through the giant tech screen we have currently
