Before we get the time to take a look, could you elaborate?
Like, the bars are full and turned white but you can’t press the button?
If you have a save from before it happened, does it consistently happen again?

Yes the bars are full and white and it doesn’t let me enter; its only after waiting awhile do I hear the sound and I’m able to enter the editor.

Okay, that pre-problem save is especially helpful, so could yo upload _that_ one please? (unless you already did, then ignore)

I don’t but it should happen if you enter the editor and fill the reproduction bars again.

I think this is an instance of this bug:

I can't think of anything right now that would explain the discrepancy. The reporting player said that they hadn't lost any cells so the problem is likely somewhere else than the progress rewinding that happens on losing a cell.
I was able to confirm that the save does nicely showcase the bug so thanks for the save. I’ve also attached it to the issue.

I found the problem in the given save (it was related to using sporulation as it was apparently forgotten to adjust the total needed compounds calculation for it), and here’s a fix:

I know I’m double posting but as I’ve said before I will double post if I’ve spent a lot of effort implementing a new PR to make a post about.
