[Klonan] [2.0.43] Wave Defense cannot launch rocket in Space age

[conundrum]

Hi,

Playing a new single player game of the "wave defense" mode with space age enabled, I cannot launch a rocket.

Silo Rocket progress is 100% and awaiting to launch, but theres no button to launch or deliver
The build a new space platform button remains disabled even when theres a platform starter pack on the rocket
cant see any other way in this mode to create a space platform.
Same issue as another forum post here
viewtopic.php?p=662885

what was expected:
Being able to finish the game. via some way of launching rocket. either when rocket is at 100% or when used to build a new space platform.

What happened:
Cannot finish a Wave defense game in space age, as there is no way to launch rocket.


Factorio 2.0.43 on linux
Save attached

testing in 2.0.45 => loading the save, the button in the silo GUI for creating new platform can be clicked, but it never launches the starter pack, leading to the same problem where several platform can be queued but none ever gets built.

I just ran into this too. I love the Wave Defense scenario, but it seems to be unwinnable since 2.0

Just spent way too much time trying to beat wave defense and now come to find out that I cannot get my rocket to launch. On 2.1.9 currently.

If you add fish to the rocket the Deliver Cargo button becomes active but does nothing. Cannot figure out how to launch the rocket to win

Please fix so I can finally beat this mode
