It does auto save after a certain period of time, no way to manually quick save that I'm aware of.
Hmmm don't know what to do then as played for a few hours and didn't autosave, is there any known issues for the Mac version or can anyone think of a fix...please?

I don't know about Mac, sorry. I run a Windows system.

It does, but they go back into the loop after a while and this cycle repeats until the update when this issue is fixed. (...) That's well over a hundred individual NPCs all converging on one single spot consecutively since I had a combined total of 100 non slaves at that point and another 130 slaves.
Damn, that must be frustrating indeed... :(

It is, at least when I'm not too busy trying to get Tyrant to attack one of only six planets I intentionally left defenseless so that Black Star would have a new capital world and I could get out of the ghost fleet bug.

I just wish my station wasn't so damn big. I've about had it trying to fix the ghost fleet bug without restarting and I'm getting set to start over. I was going to draw a generalized map to preserve the layout and room sizes for future games, I really like the way this one turned out, but I can't zoom out far enough. Honestly, it really surprised me that I even came up with the layout I did. EDIT: Took forever, but I noted every little placement detail of my station. I think I'm safe to start over without losing this layout. Also, I finally figured out why I got war declared by Raza so early that I was unprepared, her war trigger is money and probably also hitting specific events beforehand. I usually edit into my saves a ridiculous amount of money from the very start so that I can do as much as possible as quickly as possible and get my military to an unstoppable size. Not enough to trigger her declaration immediately, that's suicide, but enough to make it so I didn't have all the ships that are research locked done and built when she did. I was so focused on panicking that I didn't look at my money and jammed as many slaves on research as I could get without lagging my weak backup PC.

Having this issue in the Station Management screen where there isn't a tech tree to choose research from. Not sure what's causing it. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi, most likely your resolution is too low, which can cause some problems with the UI (and in this case, the research tree too)
If possible, try a higher resolution for the game and see if that helps!

When I boot the game up it only offers me one resolution option. (1024 X 768)
Without editing the files, something I don't know how to do, I think I'm out of luck. :(

Oh well. Thank you for the replies though!

Is the game windowed or not? Maybe, if you change the windowed status (in either way), you will have additional resolution options?

You most likely are indeed out of luck, as I thought looking at the screenshot rather than resolution it may be your aspect ratio that's causing the problem, the 4:3 ratio is something you see less and less as it loses popularity to 16:9.

If Daulas's idea above doesn't work it's likely the only other choice would be outright getting a new screen (which is far too much if this one porn game is the only thing you're actually having issues with)

Yep, it's my ancient screen that's the problem. Just checked it on a different device and sure enough, there's the research tree. Thanks again for the help everyone <3!

Alternatively, if really needed, you can use this quick modification to "cheat in" the research by inspecting yourself.
Sadly, i'm not sure if it's possible to start a research with events like these, so it's all i can offer you as an alternative then.

Edit: Forgot to say how to use it:
Place it into Stationmaster_Data\StreamingAssets\Text\
But be sure to make a backup of the original file beforehand!

Edit2: fixed something^^'

By cheat in, do you mean to give the user the ability to use it instantly or to allow the user to research it? I'm assuming the first, but figured I'd ask. It would really help me get back on my feet in a new game after the ghost fleet bug got me while conquering Black Star.

Well, literally, it'd allow you to "instantly have" the research you choose, so no price (no waiting time or similar), but it is cheating, so using it could make it boring
Also, the researches available to choose need you to have the required researches before it (like in the research tree)

That worked to unlock everything! Thank you very much! :)

Meh, the real fun for me is totally obliterating the other factions and making their leaders my playthings. If it means cheating to get there without incident, so be it.

Shurutsue I still can't figure it out. You told us where to put it, but not how to work it in game. I click on a research item and it acts as it does normally. No instant research, just a gradual climb up the percentage as usual.
