Been playing a long session, left and come back a couple times. Early on I paused the first vibe research project to pivot to one that was inspired. Since then, when I've clicked on that project, it says paused and clicking on paused (where one would normally click to select a project) changes nothing. I have not been able to figure out a way to re-select / un-pause the project since.
Indeed, in my great wisdom I put the status indicator over the select button... fixed on my end.
As for the failure count not incrementing the Board Trial event (spending the night in a holder) erases one failure so that may have been the reason for the missing one tho I will do some playtesting when I have the time.
