Good game, but some interface problems.
In phase 4, I do not understand how I'm supposed to do research?
I can see the research tree, some are green & some are gray, but whatever I click on, nothing happens?
I have also been granted some way to automatically monitor the local animals, but I can't find a way to "activate" that? and I can't see any stats about that in the right side statistics, so I assume that is not activated?
I also have some email cooperation with some animal breeder, they came & delivered some frogs I assume, there was a +5 biodiversity, in the logs, whatever that does?
The logs are also broken, I can't find that "+5 biodiversity" log entry, because each time something like a "rain" happens, then the logs reset their scrolling position to the end again, and that's on a timer, so no matter how fast I scroll, I just can't reach up far enough to see that entry.
The problem with the research tree is that it only says
"??? Not discovered yet"
Without any hint of HOW to discover it.
If it is a RESEARCH tree, then I expect to be able to do Research to unlock the things, either by trying combinations of things, learning more deeper science about the things, or in the most boring cases spend points to unlock the research.
But these "unlocks" seems to be tied to the story that unfolds through the emails? or something like that?
So maybe it should instead be called "crafting logbook" or something like that?
