Hey, kydddd,
You've hired your first member of staff, and unlocked the tech tree, but have you started researching the "BUILD LAB 1" node yet? You'll need
- 1 member of staff
- 100 energy
- 100 water
- 100 oxygen
- 100 food
To get the green "INITIATE RESEARCH" button to appear in the information box to the left. Once you do, it will consume those resources (not the staff member though) and take 30 seconds to complete (with progress bar).
Once it's complete, you'll have a capacity of 20 for your purple research points!
Unless, of course, your member of staff randomly generates zero/0 research points per click, which is possible, but unlucky. You'd need to hire another staff member and hope the next one isn't so bad at research :(
Hope that helps!
