Please explain your issue is in as much detail as possible.
My science ship is researching, but not completing or even progressing on the "vultaum restoration project". I found the system, surveyed it, and set my science ship to the restoration special project. While the ship is in orbit of Vultaum V, and the scanning VFX is showing, the project has not advanced. Situation log shows it takes (at my current state) 27 months to complete. At the same time I had also started the crystaline entity project (24 months to complete), completed that, and another physics special project (breathe in, breathe out) at 14 months. Both completed, and when I checked up on my vultaum project ship, it was still sitting at 0% complete.

I tried evacuating the system of all ships, and then resending the science ship back in. Still after 1 game year, there is 0% progress on the project. The scientist I'm using is a level 3 scientist, although I do not know if that makes any difference as there is no level requirement indication given in any UI.

No mods. All DLC installed. Attached screenshot is at gameyear 2221.08.23 for first playthrough. Initial project start was 2219. Second attempt at research was 2220.1.28

Steps to reproduce the issue.
Started another playthrough in which vultaum was my precursor spawn. Likewise, vultaum restoration project on that is not progressing.

Update: Apparently, assigning a new physics researcher allowed the project to proceed, as both the science ship scientist AND the physics field scientist are now both working on the project. If this is intended functionality, perhaps some sort of notification that 2 scientists are required would be good.

Hi thank you for the report.

Do you happen to have a save game where you are stuck on 0% ?

Unfortunately not at the moment. The initial save I encountered it and found a way around it was an ironman run and I already finished that run. The second confirmation playthru was just for that and I deleted it after it served it's purpose. If I can get a save with it again after the holiday (in U.S. Happy thanksgiving!) I will update with the save file

Understandable Have a nice Holiday.

I have a save file that should demonstrate the problem. Hope this helps!
