research tree help
when do you unlock drones? I've been stuck researching mining speed and shooting speed forever and nothing else will unlock. do i need to find a new resource first?

Sound weird, unless this is a mod/scenario/demo issue.
What game version? (Game version number, also is this a full install or the demo)?
Sandbox, freeplay or a scenario? (Also which scenario)?
What mods, if any?
Log file? (A logfile will actually answer most of those question above).
Also a screenshot of your research/tech screen might help.

Sounds like you are playing the tutorial. Did the game start with several tasks, like building ammunition and red flasks? Is there a small robot telling you what to do? If yes, that is indeed the tutorial and you will not unlock anything there.
Start a new game, freeplay with standard options should be fine for you. This is where the fun starts.

Well there is a robot telling me what to do but i clicked campaign not tutorial. Is the main menu bugged?

Re: research tree help
No, but the campaign is the tutorial.
The "real" game is the freeplay.
Just start a new game, open the research tree and you will see all the available techs, including construction bots.
Also, I would recommend to play the latest experimental version. If you have steam: right click - properties - betas - 0.18 latest experimental.

Re: research tree help
That is so confusing. Maybe move "freeplay" to campaign and then re-label campaign to tutorial or something? That is really going to really mess new players up and a lot of people probably wouldn't think to come here like i did. Also isn't experimental really buggy?

Re: research tree help
Yes it is confusing, I believe they are looking at more changes.
No, the experimental version is very stable, well worth choosing it.
