Research stop

Post by gordontkc »

Hi,

I have a problem with the research in different sandbox games.

i built a line of Laboratories which are filled with red and green packages. at a certain time all research stop. The research box in the upper right corner shows "no research". but there are still Tecs to discover.

I don't know if that is a bug or my own mistake. How can i restart research?

thanks for help.

Did you try pressing the T key to bring up the research dialog and choose another research topic?

Usually after a tech gets researched the Techonolgy window apears automatically but I niteced that it failed to do so several times.
Now I suspect that I might have simply just pressed "E" at the time so before wTechonolgy window even showed up I closed it down.

I'll try to pay more atention in future to see whether this is caused by me or is there some bug in game.

I think the “no research” text at the top right should be converted to a button you can click to bring up the research window.

That would avoid the “noob problem” of people who forgot about the tutorial message instructing them to press T.

A button which jumps from inventory to research and back.... (beginning of a kind of menu?)
