Description
Global support breakthrough tech doesn't show up in research tab.

What DLC do you have installed?
Green Planet, Below and Beyond

Please explain your issue is in as much detail as possible.
I've recently purchased the below and beyond DLC, while exploring the underground (Sol 2, in the second passage of the underground so pretty early) I came across a rare anomaly, Fossils. I chose to share the discovery with the world (Option 4) and was told I had unlocked the global support breakthrough. Opening the research tab revealed nothing in the breakthroughs column. I thought it might be a bug or glitch so I restarted the map, again nothing.

I have tried several times including an entirely new save, no tech appears. I thought uninstalling and reinstalling the game may solve the problem(I also tried to verify the files before uninstall and after), it did not, not in the saved game or a new one.

I then decided I would try a mod (I don't use any mods normally) to figure out what the breakthrough does (I had never seen it before)
I couldn't find any mod that made the tech available for research so I decided to make my own.

Still nothing, I know the mod is setup correctly because if I change the breakthrough from global support to another breakthrough, the tech appears (Giant crops, capture asteroids and the positronic brain all work for example)

Is there a step I'm missing to unlock the tech? 100 colonists for example?

Thank you for taking the time to read.
Happy to share whatever info may help solve the problem.

Can you replicate the issue?
Yes, every time I get the fossils anomaly and choose option 4 the tech doesn't appear.

After discussing the issue further with tech support I've been advised to upload my save file here in hopes that a joined effort might help resolve this problem.
I've got no programming experience but I've discovered that I cannot find the prefabs or vehicles in the modding menu either, is there possibly a missing file?

Thanks all.
