Did you play GC3?

If not nothing happens for awhile then you'll get a popup saying you got xxx gold and you'll be able to build a new ship. 

 

If you did play 3 then you need to verify your files and if that fails ping Schism Navigator for help

Better join the forum on Discord and post there.

If you are new Discord is more responsive to needs of new players.

There was a problem with that but they fixed it (at least their fix worked for me) in 1.0.  By any chance are you using a Custom Civ created prior to 1.01 or 1.0?  You might need to recopy your Civ & reset your fleet so that you pick up the little mission ships.

it should spawn a tiny little ship that automatically goes out looking for treasure (like 100-300 credits usually), which it should find several turns later, unless it runs into a hostile spacecraft or monster. it brings up a box at the start of your turn letting you know when one finds something

Not sure how familiar you are with the GalCiv games, but if you're new, you can easily verify if the game is actually sending out the tiny mission ships.  Click on the red ship icon in the upper right hand corner.  Scroll down the list.  If you see a Scavenger mission ship then it worked.  If not then there's an issue.

Quoting cayenne_spicy240, reply 5

This was an issue reported during the beta after custom civs were added. In some cases custom civs lacked "template" ships of certain types, and so the default ships which spawn when researching certain techs (such as asteroid mining), "mission" ships, and/or prototype ships were not appearing correctly for the custom civ. It seems to have not been resolved.

It was resolved for my custom civ }:)

I created the civ prior to 1.0. When 1.0 came out, I copied the civ and attempted to reset. As far as I can tell, the Treasure hunter is not spawning. It used to be that you could see them moving about. Now, nothing. I'll try copying once again and see if that helps. Thanks!

You may need to recreate from scratch.
