Science Academy but no scientists

[Xmudder]

I had one scientist, but he died, Never got another despite building science academy.

I have 4 ambassadors, 6 spies, 5 admirals, and 4 generals.

I am playing Akdarian. Never seen this before.

1.2.7.7 beta on Steam

The Hive woke up early. I am just starting tier 3 techs, usually the Hive doesn't show up until I am ready to research light cruisers after I have worked through tier 3. Play the above save for a bit, and there will be a fleet with 3 hive carriers and 9 hive frigates heading to Authoria, one of my core worlds.

How long has it been since you got your last scientist? What government are you playing? Have you noticed this across multiple games?

Only got one at game start, he died in the 100k event that got me the akdarian fighters and bombers. Usually another one respawns quickly. not this time/ Game start was 2754, this save was 2796

Akdarian Republic

No, first time, but also first game since the update a few days ago.

Strange. This has not been my experience nor have we seen additional reports of a similar nature.

Do you play with any mods?

The only mod I have is the one that removes background galaxy effects to make the map more visible.

New game I started I got 2 scientists, but lost one to the same event as the last game, and have not got a second. I have 3 ambassadors, 4 admirals, 3 generals, and 6 spies. Still researching Science Academy.

I did a file integrity check, and it fixed 3 files, but then I had to change my defaults for pop ups and new games, and I didn't get any new scientists on reload.

I switched to Technocracy with 1.2.7.9 and am getting scientists again. Reloading games as the Akdarian Republic are not spawning scientists. I am up to 3 now, 2 from research breakthroughs. I didn't get any of those as Akdarian Republic in the last patch.

Another, possibly related, problem:

When I started a game as Akdarian Technocracy, I now have 5 scientists.

But have NEVER been asked to build any "Planetary Adminstration" buildings, which I was regularly asked to build in previous games as a Akdarian Republic. As Republic, I get the tech and a building on my home planet for free, but I also have revolving leaders (which I think is blocking the scientists from spawning).

One I started manually building them, my money problems went away.

I think the various governments at game start are screwing with something.

Do you mind posting a save with steps to reproduce?
