I have on this same save just encountered another strange thing that I wasn't sure if was worth making a new post. I launched a rocket from the Vulcanic planet with my first 1000 science to my station. It just disappeared. The science never made it.

I figured that I would add, I do have a controller connected to my computer although I am not using it (specifically a pad for fighting games).

And this crash has only happened once in the 50~ hours of this save.

I was on the planet watching something on the side, so I wasn't doing much.
The game just crashed and then asked me to post the log to the forum.

Let me know if there is anything else I can do to help.
