I have had a lot more than usual sidetrack this game.  I normally try to keep the techs between my factions pretty separated, but I have had to do a lot of extra trading to defeat sidetracks, which of course slows down any subsequent research.

I am not sure what is going on.  I think I am following my normal 2-faction tech route, but something is amiss.  Of course, after trading one tech from a sidetrack, that probably throws the whole path off course.

If there is one thing I would change in SMAC if I could, it would be that all of the technologies that a faction could potentially research would be available for selection, instead of a limited selection.  It is very annoying to see your strategy derailed because of 2 or 3 sidetracks before getting offered the tech you actually want.

Same thing with me.

I agree with you,
 I do not know how it works, ie    
which parameters is decisive for determination in allowing possible technology selection? perhaps it could be changed.

But more interesting is like this. :-)))))))

I had a strange situation.  I had to save the game during the Drones turn to take my daughter to martial arts lessons, and when I loaded the save, it gave a notice of tampering.

So if you get a reload warning, I did not reload.  I just saved and loaded once.

it's okay

I am on the verge of completing my research of Bio-Engineering, rendering me practically invincible!  Mah, ha, ha (evil laugh)

P.S I already have Bio-Engineering,but I'm not invincible. ))
