Can see Living Ships but can't research it

Hi. I'm running 3.8 and using a custom faction with the Ancient trait. In the shiny new tech tree, I can see Living ships at the end of the Precursor Traditions line and in the Tree view, if I select it, it looks selected. When I close the Tree view, I'm not researching anything and I do not get the no-research notify button a second time.

I had picked it as the third or fourth in a research chain and wonder if viewing the tree after I did that might have broken something?

What tech age you on? I took a look at the tech and found it is an age of ascension tech. You can't research stuff that is beyond your current tech age. Age of ascension is really late into the game.

You can see your current tech position at the bottom of the tech screen.

Now I remember reading about that ages bar somewhere. Thanks, DW.

Still, it seems like the UI should be more direct, maybe striping age-limited boxes with the color for their age.
