Given he states he never got to the point of having no available research topics, possibly because he's not aggresive enough in pursuing research, I'd assume he just means that he's surprised by OPs mention of no research available in August. I suspect it's just one of those things that was ironed out in current 2.5.

Remember this is 2.4, and the simple game not the full one.
Yes the game seems to dry up. No UFOs ever. And no research projects. Just more Alien landings and mostly these are the same battleground.
It's quite OK that the simple game is limited, but I feel there should be some sort of ending.
But I should try 2.5.

My current game is in November when I somewhat stopped playing. But I'm researching Dragon Interceptors, have a few autopsies to do, I'm seeing the big green guys (forget the name), am still researching parts of the main story line, etc.
Maybe it's just the opposite of my assumption, maybe I'm more aggressive at keeping the story line going and researching parts so I've opened more of it up. I can't see how he could have possibly got this far unless he just loaded up with scientists and labs. I have two research labs going with 30 scientists total. They are pretty much always busy. It seems there was a time when I was close to having a gap in research topics, but it filled back up again.
Have you built ufo storage facilities and started researching ufos?
pe9298:
I had 58 scientists for quite a while. Basically, whenever I had scientists available, I recruited them. Only when the available projects disappeared did I stop recruiting.
"Have you built ufo storage facilities and started researching ufos?". No, since I have never seen a UFO in flight. Does this building release new options?
pe9298:
I just checked with my game
"Have you built ufo storage facilities and started researching ufos?" - No UFO storage built because it is not available!
I should note I have captured 2 types of live alien (Taman and the tough one with the funny name) and researched them both. Should I try to capture more different aliens ?
