Supports are Not Being Generated

I'm trying to slice the part below but when I enable Supports the only supports that are generated are around the edge and in the centre (See 3rd image). If I try to print this it will obviously fail as most of the horizontal surface is unsupported. I'm using the latest PrusaSlicer AppImage and my settings are defaults other than enabling supports. What do I need to do to generate proper supports for this part?

 

Thanks

What? Is Google down? A simple "prusa supports not generated" immediately answers the question (which has been asked about 3,203,121 times before here...). Sorry, haven't had my morning coffee yet.

@JoanTabb - Thanks, that's what I was looking for. Seems odd that it's off by default especially when it's tooltip describes it as "Experimental"

 

@fuchsr - Neither had I
