Been working my way through a Space Age save and just researched Gleba, however both Vulcanus and Fulgora are locked. Their options are greyed out at the bottom of the list and unable to be interacted with. Anyone else experience this issue?

Are you using any mods ? I had not this happened to me in vanilla game, which version are you using ? maybe something happened to your game, do you have a savegame ?

Yea it's not vanilla, plenty of mods, I'm thinking it was one of the extra planet mods. Unfortunately the changes stay after I uninstall the mods and reload. Assuming it was a mod, would there be a way to reverse these changes?

Could you be missing some of the early-game trigger techs? I started my space age from a 1.0 save and I remember having to manually craft some red science / iron plates to regain access to a few basic techs.

There seem to be some bad mods going around out there. But, when one installs random software from random people, that's going to happen.

There's a possible fix in this thread.

NineNine - Unfortunately I think you're right, best I can figure is one of the planet mods I downloaded was mistakenly one that changed your starting planet and that was the culprit. Might be looking at a restart sadly... Strangest thing is the prototype explorer claimed nothing about Fulgora Planet Discovery had been changed.

Fixed it!!!! the consul commands were the way to go. Thank you for the help everyone, just saved me literally days of time invested.
