for task_name in tasks:
    %TaskBoard.text = str(task_name)

This for loop goes through each task and sets the task board to that string. If we un-roll the loop it would look like this:

%TaskBoard.text = "Make serum"
%TaskBoard.text = "Research"
%TaskBoard.text = "Research"
%TaskBoard.text = "Make serum"
%TaskBoard.text = "Study results"
%TaskBoard.text = "Research"

Which results in only displaying the last “Research” right? You will need to add each task, I also recommend not doing this in _process as it can be rather expensive to set text labels and manipulate strings every frame.

func _on_newtask_timeout():
    tasks.append(new_task.pick_random())
    # create a new blank string
    var all_tasks: String = ""

    # add each task to the string
    for task_name in tasks:
        all_tasks += task_name + "\n" # \n makes a new line; like hitting enter, but for code

    # apply the accumulated string to the label
    %TaskBoard.text = all_tasks

Make sure to paste code with formatting:
