How to research? Started it but bar isn't filling.

[MFDOOM]

I clicked on a research item and set my entire staff to working on it, it's been about 2 months now and the bar has not moved at all.

I feel like im missing something, but i can't find anywhere what step i've missed. Is there something i need to do before i can do research? I haven't found anywhere to hire "research staff" or such.


Edit: by the way, it shows i have the search selected, shows my employees working on it, just zero progress.

Thanks

Could possibly be that your staff suck. Check their Skills and make sure it works with what you are researching.

I had thought of that and used a cheat to max out their stats, and it still did not work.

Im not sure if it's due to the mods i have:

- hardware mod - revamped
- anyfin software mod

and a few furniture/blueprints.

Also on the alpha 9 beta patch.

Honestly, since I don't use those mods, i wouldn't know. Have ypou tried (I know this sucks) playing without each mod respectively, and then without either of them, and reproduce the bug?

Disabled my mods and i got the research for antibiotics, when i accepted it same issue. Looks like a game issue.

Mine is working well. I have not seen much in the way of how it works, but from what I can gather, after gettting several patents is that there are two bars.

Top bar will tell you the skill aspect required to research and will turn blue - requires Designer skill.
Bottom bar will be blank, but is same skill and will turn green - requires coding skill.

It goes through three phases...Research (pretty quick), Testing (not quite as quick), and Applying for Patent (seems to take forever).

I can't tell if ther are any other requirements to research more efficiently, but I just throw anyone with design skills and coding skills at it. My current game (year 1980 start, 2000 cuirrent)I have five patents. Of course, I have not tried any mods yet.

I use crunch & highest priority, so it takes 1-2 months for 1 research
