Is this some sort of bug? I opened up my domes when terraforming allowed me and within one year about 70 buildings all stopped working simultaneously and despite having enormous amounts of the required resources to repair them, depots/storage outside every dome, and multiple overlapping drone hubs with light load, they simply refuse to fix them. They are just wandering around. Not sure what I am supposed to do....

For example, let's say you did a sponsor goal and got 5k research from it. You're currently researching something that costs 2k, and the other 3k is just lost forever. Or is it already a thing in the base game and I just missed it?

ive tried to start the AI mystery yet it never happens i have domes i have the needle spire i even have people living so how to i trigger its start?

I randomly pulled the Marsgate storyline in my current game but the turrets won't fire. I'm slowly getting wrecked by the rovers. Is there a way to make them start working or is this save just done?

i hear below is awful, and beyond is pretty good, so my question is, can i ignore the below or will it lock something important to progression to below until i do it?
