There is a building research this mod adds in the "other" column called "signal relay". Tis research shows up in that column after researching electric grids, if you've found some electronic resource, or research basic construction.

This research then enables the creation of a mega communication station.

This com station is required to be build, powered on, and defended before any official (or illicit) trading research can be researched.

Less "researched from scratch because we crash landed" and more "download from a planetary library a bunch of lightyears away"; hence being a mega communication station to maintain the signal to travel that far

I've built the signal relay and have been attacked multiple times since it has been finished, I still haven't been able to access any new research

"Donating our Excess" and "Trading Console" should always be research-able without a signal relay.

After they both are researched, ~7 new researches in the Official Trading should appear.
(All of which require a running signal relay to research)

2 of which are "Galactic Refinery" and "Galactic Furnace".
Both of which have the required to unlock next tier blurb

When both furnace + refinery is researched, another group of ~6 researches should show up in the Official Trading UI.

If you have researched all technologies that contain the "Required for next tier" and have not unlocked another group of research; that should not happen.
(Unless you have researched all T4/5 researches, in which case that column is "done")

Let me know if that helped or if it didn't.

I haven't seen either of those researches. Am I missing something?

I think you are, see this image of a new save

The research tab has a scroll bar with PX: that lets you see the new columns involved
Let me add a fake research at the top of the "Resources" Column also explaining this too

Oh my god. I can't believe I played a full game year on this save and missed there was a horizontal scroll bar. Thanks for pointing it out!

Your not the only one, i went 7 months before i saw it on my first run, i was wondering if my mod was broken because i couldnt find so much of the mod content :)

Doh! I overlooked that scroll bar too! Thanks Mr. Ark Builder for showing me the errors of my ways and how I missed the obvious.
