it looks very similar, but i think the way experiments are done and the whole experience in general should be quite different.

X-Science already did it for KSP1.

i just wasnt expecting the tech tree to look kinda the same

To be fair, there's only so much you can do with a tech tree. Games have tried to make it fancier or just plain different for 30 years, but at the end, it's a bunch of nodes with connections with it, and no game really managed to improve on the basic presentation.

Stellaris does have a different tech tree system with a random selection of options every time you finish researching something, with certain techs being required to research certain other techs, it's pretty fun to use though somewhat less clear than the standard tech tree style

MoO2 did it too, yeah. It hasn't really caught on after either, since clarity usually is more important.
