Just got the game yesterday and tried the Trainer. I used the fast Research on the trainer and I thought it was working great but when I checked the score progress, I was in third place out of 4 players (3 AIs) on the Research Score, lol. Apparently, all players get the Research cheat. Last post about this was from last year, so I guess it won't be fixed?
I don't see that they've said no but there's still only one report the trainer needs updating and it usually takes three. Do a report here:

Updated to 2 reports now.
But clearly very few people are still playing this so even if it did get a third report it would be a very low priority.
Game is still playable without the research option anyway, and I would argue more enjoyable too.
Heyo,
We will add it to our Trainer Monkeys list and get it tested
