Stuck when choosing dups if pressing ESC

Time is manipulatable but UI does not engage.

Allowing it to run to see if it will generate an autosave

Dupe printer is filling so maybe loading an autosave will reingage the UI and allow someone to play a zero pop start game

attempting to exploit this to generate a single dupe start game

Inescapable Pit Cycle 2.sav

And we get our UI back

So after cycle 2 with the UI active it drives you back to the main menu because "All of your dupes are dead, its time to load a save or start a new colony"

Going to run a colony with no UI until dupe printer is ready and see how that work.  Updates incoming

The Hopeful Facility Cycle 4.sav

A save ready to print a dupe on arrival with no deaths and no predupes

I saw this problem too.
