Description
Special project pop-ups stop happening if Cracking Open the Alien Box is completed at the same time with another project

Game Version
Cepheus v. 3.4.3 (971d) (and earlier)

What version do you use?
Steam

What expansions do you have installed?


Do you have mods enabled?
Yes

Please explain your issue is in as much detail as possible.
Hello. I have managed to twice induce a bug in which special project pop-ups stop happening entirely after completing two special projects at the same time, (i.e. meaning that the two projects would finish on the same date). Both times, one of the projects was Cracking Open the Alien Box; the other one might have been Translating Warrior's Texts or The Prince, but I am not 100% sure.

At the time of completion of these missions, the vocal cue played, but no pop-ups came up, meaning that I also did not get the benefits from either completed project. Afterwards, no matter what I did (restarting the game, trying to complete new missions) I no longer received any pop-ups relating to special projects, nor any effects from them.

Both times this bug occurred, I was playing on a Shared Burdens society in a huge galaxy and iron man mode. Both times I completed the missions in question around the beginning of mid-game years, so the research times for the projects would have been 1-2 months. I can't say if there were any other notable similarities between these games.

The first time I had this bug happening was maybe a year ago, on an earlier & unmodded game version (I also had fewer expansion packs then). The second time was in June 2022, v. Cepheus 3.4.3, and while using two mods: Cybrxkhan's Assortment of Namelists and Diverse Rooms.

I unfortunately can't attach any relevant files or screenshots relating to this bug as I deleted both saves because of the inability to complete projects before I thought to make a bug report.

Thank you for investigating this issue and your continued work with Stellaris!

Steps to reproduce the issue.
Finish cracking open the alien box at the same time with another special project

Did it look something like this ? I just had the same problem all special projects stuck, cannot modify robots, cannot uplift species. I did not notice exactly when the bug occurred but your report gave me a clue.
