you cant close the settings menu once you open it
Thank you for the comment!
“Settings” are just another tab - you can click the “Modules” again to continue playing. The game continues in the mean time though.
We will consider changing this behavior to a more traditional behavior as this might be confusing.
This has been changed now, see https://kringel-games.itch.io/progress-station/devlog/725012/update-101
