Oh hell yes, installing this tonight! Will give any feedback I have, where do you prefer it, here or the mod portal or somewhere else?

If it crashes please open a bug report in the portal, that makes it easier for me to track

How do you determine what category a tech should go into?
It's based on the prototype data:
https://github.com/Subject-314159/awesome-rqm/blob/main/lib%2Fconst.lua#L4
For technology that unlock recipes or items I look into items first, then for each item I look at the place result entity's type
For example technology logistics 2 unlocks recipe fast belt, that recipe produces item fast belt, which places the entity fast belt, which has the prototype belt

It starts with getting the effect of the technology: https://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/classes/LuaTechnologyPrototype.html#effects
If that is a recipe, I retrieve the recipe data: https://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/classes/LuaPrototypes.html#recipe
For that recipe you can get the items it produces: https://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/classes/LuaRecipePrototype.html#products
That item prototype has a place result: https://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/classes/LuaItemPrototype.html#place_result
The last step is to get the prototype type of that entity: https://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/prototypes.html
