I am pretty sure that this is a bug. But this is my first post, I just bought the game last night. Anyways I started the game and bought, a 2nd lab & 2nd Living quarters. Waited the needed days for them to build and then ordered 15 scientists ( to have a total of 30, the amount of lab room I have). Waited a few more days, no message of new scientists arriving or anything, but in my HQ screen it is showing 30/30 lab space used, but I can only manage 15 scientists into projects.
If anyone knows a fix for this please let me know, as I have reloaded saves from before buildings were finished, waited for them to finish and ordered scientists again, many times.
