research points aren't awarded

[grave cave]

Just picked up the game today (supporters edition), I'm now at the stage of accessing blueprints, and I've yet to be awarded any research points. The count for shapes stays at 0/100 even when the pinned goal on screen shows the shapes indeed being counted as they enter the vortex.

Blueprint Currency shapes do not count towards Blueprint Currency
Done • Priority: Highest • Fix: 4.1 - EA Prototype • Resolution: Done

When players deliver Blueprint Currency shapes to The Vortex, the Blueprint Credits counter does not update as expected. The shapes are consumed but the currency value is not added to the player's total. This prevents players from earning Blueprint Credits through shape delivery, blocking progression that depends on accumulating these credits. The expected behavior is that delivering the required shapes should increment the Blueprint Credits counter immediately upon delivery.

No Blueprint Currency granted for side goal shapes
Done • Priority: High • Fix: 2 - Demo • Resolution: Done

When delivering shapes that fulfill a Job, the Research Credits symbol appears at The Vortex, but the player does not actually receive the Research Credits. The issue occurs specifically when completing side goal deliveries. The expected behavior is that Research Credits should be granted when Job shapes are delivered, as indicated by the visual feedback showing the currency symbol. This prevents players from earning Research Credits through the Job system as intended.

BP Goals Don't give BP Points if they're also Research Goals
Done • Priority: High • Fix: 2 - Demo • Resolution: Done

When delivering a Milestone that is both a Blueprint Credits shape and a Research Milestone, the player only receives Research progress, even if the Research has been completed. The expected behavior is that the player should receive both Research progress and Blueprint Credits simultaneously, even while the Research hasn't been completed. Currently, no Blueprint Credits are gained, only the default Research Shape Blueprint Credits value is rewarded. This issue affects dual-purpose milestone ...

Trains with correct shapes not counting when launching into the vortex
Done • Priority: Highest • Fix: 4 - Early Access • Resolution: Done

After unlocking the Train Launcher research upgrade, trains carrying the correct shapes are not being counted toward milestone completion when launched into The Vortex. The player expects that delivering shapes via Train Launcher should count toward goal progress, similar to other delivery methods. This issue has been verified as working correctly for both main milestones and operator goals, suggesting the bug report may have been resolved or misidentified.

Shapes entering the vortex via trains aren't always counted if saving and reloading a save
Done • Priority: Critical • Fix: 1.0 Release [1.0.0] • Resolution: Fix Verified

Shapes delivered to The Vortex via trains are not always counted after saving and reloading a savegame. In a fresh save, train contents entering The Vortex are counted correctly, but after reloading an existing savegame, the delivered shapes often fail to register. The issue can also cause shapes delivered via conveyor belts to stop being counted once a train enters The Vortex. Results are inconsistent, sometimes working and sometimes not. This may be a long-standing bug where trains double t...

Research facility not accepting first exotic compound or milestone shapes
Done • Priority: High • Fix: None • Resolution: Done

In Manufacture Mode, the Donation Station unlocked at Milestone 1 does not accept exotic compounds or milestone shapes to increase innovation levels and gain Research Credits or progress towards Milestones. Only the shape XkXkXkXk is accepted. This occurs when starting a new Savegame in Manufacture Mode at any Difficulty after completing Milestone 1 and connecting a Donation Station to any milestone shape. The expected result is that shapes should be accepted into the Research Station for mil...
