Ok, 0.4 here, question, how to start active research. Have girls to mate, have temple, have tech screen, nothing clickable, nothing like button start research or something. Clicking on tabs, lit or not, goes nowhere. What I'm doing wrong?
I usually access research tree from the top menu, where research progress bar is.

I was similarly confused for a while when updating to 0.4 from 0.11; presuming you are correctly accessing the tech tree through the button on the top right or through the temple, it's likely that you aren't meeting the requirements to research the technology.

If you hover over a blank spot in the box for a tech without moving your mouse, such as Ratkin Technology l, for a few seconds a secondary box will pop up that details the unlock requirements. For Ratkin Tech. l, as an example, you must have 5 Ratkins living in homes in your colony; Ratkin Tech. ll requires 5 Ratkins housed in upgraded Yeoman homes, and so on.

Once it's unlocked, indicated by the box being lit up instead of grayed out, you can just click on the box for the technology to start the research process (As long as enough homes are built near your temple). I was clicking on the boxes for the technology upgrades and moving my cursor off of them without letting my mouse stay still, so it took a while for me to figure out how to get it to work myself.

Hopefully this helps -- sorry in advance if you had a different issue.

On that note, you will run into difficulties on the second isle. If you choose the same temple, you will have to raze the one on the starter island. Also the followers needed for each tier only account for the island with the temple, which led to me importing a ton of cowgirls. And having a massive urban sprawl to somehow get research going forward.

Does anyone know if seperate temples will enable you to add up the girls on different isles?

When am I supposed to be able to start researching? I have looted the second dungeon, but I still see no way.
I tried to upgrade houses, but upgrading isn't available even with enough resources, so I guess there is some prior requirement as well.
I guess I'm a bit confused as the last version seemed (as far as I can remember) to unlock buildings when they were usable. Now I have a temple that can research nothing, a breeding house but no strapons and a training center but no training methods.

Question,

Is girls losing levels when working supposed to happen?
(I'm editing my save file to add traits and maxing their levels)

No, they should gain experience while working though.
Do you have any further details? You can use F8 to send a bug report in game.

Research needs a temple and two people inside it - a researcher and a subject. It draws research power from surrounding housing, with radius defined by modifiers you can see in people-assigning interface.
Unlocking many things require 5 of some kind of monstergirl. That includes some buildings and some research categories. More advanced research needs the same amount of monstergirls, but higher quality of life for them.

Though if you only update their level, and not their underlying experience, they will slowly lose levels until they're back to the level as indicated by their experience (and the other way around). This was a recent change to allow Succubi level drain to work.
So to save edit them to a level, you need to set the level, but also set the experience to 40*level*level

Figured it was something like that.
While Ihave you hear, are metal mages a thing yet? (and is there a way to get gold other than the Biesbosch?)

Is it me or you can't get the higher tier girls by capturing them anymore all the ones I have captured have ended up losing the empower perk after I clear the dungeon and return to the map in the newest update?

Yes, they're a 0.1% encounter.
And there's additional gold in Marches.
Last question. can i reposition my temples? the tooltip says i can only build it once. I'm hoping there's some sort of error translating (but it's dutch to english, so very unlikely), and this means you can only build one, but you can delete it and place a new one.

You can indeed delete and rebuild. I understand most people don't want to risk it, but playing around with the game would have shown this.

I'm pretty sure I fulfill the requirements to unlock more islands but the tooltip says as further condition "not using the demo version", is that intentional? Downloaded the windows version from here, IIRC the mega link.

Yes. Empowerment is now tied to their social class (which is tied to their house).

I think they said it somewhere that the last islands are not in the public version, only in the Patreon version.
I am not sure how many islands are available to play for free, but it seems you have reached that limit.
Note that version here is the public version, not the Patreon version. Because we're getting along well with the developer, and they regularly post to this thread.

Just checked the itch.io page, it says the final tier of islands is locked which would be T5 (Saeftinghe, Testerep, Yarmouth) while I'm trying to get onto T4 (Sealand, Worden, Marches).... for the Slimes, Catgirls, and I guess while I'm at it gold that's not super awkward to get. Meanwhile the latest patreon post says that Tier 4+ islands are locked in the public version.

What Madodev gives us is of course their choice it's just that I've been promised catgirls and (compared to the last version), the Slimes are gone.

The demo is pretty much a waist high fence. A friendly reminder that if you enjoyed the game enough that you played up to T4, you should really consider supporting the game so I have more money/reserves to work with.
Of course, nothing stops people from using save editing to easily bypass it, or even use the git version and Godot to play the game in-editor.

I am not talking about just the bonus hp you now get for house lvs i mean the stats/damage/damage reduction that use to be able to be gained that the wild girls still have
