Game Version
Stellaris Dick [v3.0.2] & [91c1]

What version do you use?
GoG

What expansions do you have installed?
Synthetic Dawn, Utopia, Leviathans Story Pack, Apocalypse, Distant Stars, Ancient Relics, Federations, Nemesis

Do you have mods enabled?
No

Please explain your issue is in as much detail as possible.
Research points gained from Special Project do not advance the research!!

Steps to reproduce the issue.
Load the attached game.
It is about the finish the Graveyard Expedition.
This special project gives 1095 engineering research points - see the attached picture.
(It does not give them in every outcome, so you may need to reload several times to reproduce that)

AND - engineering research does not advance at all (and it is only 750 points worth).

This is not the first bug of such sort I noticed, they are very prominent in the last upgrade.

Research from special projects is applied to your stored research stockpile. This is then applied to your monthly research progress, up to your base research.

So, if you are researching 500 engineering progress per month, then get 1000 engineering research in a reward, you will use up 500 stored research for the next 2 months, and make 1k progress for those 2 months.

It has worked this way forever, but the reward amounts were recently increased significantly, to where we could be instantly completing techs if it applied directly to research progress, immediately.

Yeah this is working as designed, though the interface could probably be clearer that it was using "stored or bonus research" instead of "stored research"
