If you select the option for a starting set you get 250% bonus robot speed at start.
when you get a higher number in research and die it will reset to 250 and you will lose your progress.
quite annoying.

Can you confirm how to reproduce this?
I tried setting "starting research level" to "space science", then researched another level of robot speed, killed myself, respawned and the bonus was still in place

This is probably true, so I will fix it

i have researched robot worker speed to 10 right now and that would be a bonus of 490% speed but i only get a bonus of 250%.
hope this will explain it enough

So, it is fixed in the next release

Thank you for the fix it works on a new save file but i doesn't work on an older file.
any change this could be fixed to or there is already a way to fix this? otherwise to bad.

Well, you can go then save and load the game, and it should work

Thank you for the fast reply!
I tried what you said and I got this error message on the new save:
