Default Proportions mod: ruins

I am new to the proportions mod. I have really enjoyed the game changes PvK has made. However, I have noted that ruins do not award any new technology.

1) In most situations, I colonize a planet, to be told I found ruins but get no offer of new technology.

2) After colonizing some ruins, I am even told what technology I get (such as massive shield depleter) and am still not awarded the tech.

Is this a bug, or a way of keeping scientific advances "proportional" to reality? Meaning we can discover alien ruins and appreciate advanced technology, but we just can't use it?
