I'm not sure if I'm dumb or I've encountered a glitch. I'm on my first playthrough and, for some reason, don't have the ability to research anything which has "Inspect Machinery" as a pre-requisite. I've worked around it a few times by using Debug mode to enable all research, but that isn't a long term solution. Even when using the Tech Tree Viewer, "Inspect Machinery" is not purple, implying I haven't researched it, despite knowing for a fact I have. Is there something I'm missing, or should I take this over to a bug report thread? Alternatively, is there any way to save file edit to tick whatever box needs ticking for Inspect Machinery?
I suspect it's a bug because starting a second game and researching Inspect Machinery now shows it as purple in the Tech Tree Viewer, unlike in my first game. Just wanted to confirm here before making a report.
Edit: I've managed to successfully save edit the file. For anyone in the future, you can simply go to your save folders via the options menu, then edit the save file with Notepad. Ctrl+F for "Discovered" and then add " - STR_INSPECT_MACHINERY " to the list of discovered techs. I don't know what caused this, if it was a bug or me misunderstanding something, but at least there's a solution!
