Research problem (late stage of the game so very slight spoiler)

Hi,

I'm drawing very close to the end of the game but i am having a couple of annoying diffculties, firstly the geosphere displays more missions than there are, though this has been covered in another thread. More importantly, 2 researches are unavaliable, acid weapons and mass breeding, the required pre-requisites are acid grenades and beastman shaman interrogation. The only problem is i have both of these. In my stores i have about 70 acid grenades and i remember distinctly having captured a shaman in one of the missions. I even did another beastman missions and claimed more acid grenades in the loot. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you.

I had the same problem with the acid grenades. To solve it, I equipped one of my squad with a beastman acid grenade in the "Equipment" screen and sent him on a mission. When they got back to base I un-equipped the grenade then this released that research topic.

 

As for the mass breeding I don't know as I didn't have this problem. However I can't research Psi-Weapons as I never ever get a "capture reticulan soldier" mission. It's a bad game bug as far as i can tell, but I think not being able to research mass breeding could have bad consequences later in the game with trying to get the required terraforming progress.

In regards to the acid grenade issue, when I fixed I didn't need to go on a mission, just equip it on any unit, then remove it manually and check if the requisites are met.

 

In regards of the Shaman interrogation, check the completed researches list in the research screen, they are reverse ordered by time of completion (most recent first)
