No anomaly research
Hi folks,

For some reason the anomaly research window is not populated with any research to unlock.

My colony is a year old and I've been studying the monolith and creatures I've captured. I keep getting notifications saying I've unlocked new research but when I click the notification it takes me to an empty anomaly research window.

I've tried removing all mods, then verifying game files in steam but it's the same everyone I boot back up my save.

Anyone else had this ?

do you have a save not tainted by mods?

I haven't but I'll try that next. I was hoping disabling mods and reverifying game files would be enough

I've had the same issue, nothing in the anomaly tab regardless of having mods or not.

Happened to me as well, although I'm using a lot of mods. I noticed that studying the monolith opens the anomaly research tree.

It's pretty weird because the shamblers were attacking my base even before interacting with the monolith.

Yeah everything seems to be working fine it's just I cannot see any anomaly research I'm unlocking in the anomaly research window.

I sqe on Reddit someone pointed towards vanilla expanded framework but adding it removing didn't fix it for me sadly.

Having the same problem with the Void Provocation ritual; actually unlock it just fine, but it doesnt actually do anything beyond a pop-up box and a pulse effect. Nothing spawns, nothing updates.

Did anyone figure this out ?

Exact same problem here. It seems to work on some maps but not on others. The research tab unlocking seems tied to a pop-up window.

I had to start a new game and abandon my colony sadly.

I ended up wiping all my game and mod folders before a fresh install and verify in steam.

It's working fine now (so far).

Just sad I lost that colony and it was going well

There was the same problem, I solved it using the developer mode (it can be turned on in the game settings) when it is turned on from above, select the third icon (open debug actions menu) there I clicked on "set anomaly level" and selected "stirring" in the menu and everything worked, apparently something should happen to study anomalies it appeared in technology, I have a lot of mods myself and I did not disable them, I hope this will help someone and I hope everything I wrote is understandable to read, since all this was translated using a Google translator
hey i kinda know that im late to the party, but i fixed my research tree. i kinda did what the guy above said, but instead i set mine to inactive, then had one of my pawns discover the monolith.

IIRC, Anomaly research does not unlock until you 'start' the anomaly content, such as by studying the monolith. Shamblers or what ever turning up doesn't trigger that, but you do get 'credit' for having met them once you do study the monolith.
