You need to launch a satellite first.

Ah, that makes some sense.

Although it is against everything else in the game. Normally the game allows you to research everything without any limits. How about making the uplink station research available and the station constructible, but when one tries to use it without a satellite launched, display a message and refuse?

I'd considered that, but I feel the progression of Build satellite > Launch satellite > Research uplinking > Build uplink station should be preserved. Perhaps I'll make a poll so people can easily support either option.

He-he, now you shold define crafting and mining categories...

Right you are, mod is not listed as compatible with 0.14 yet; you must've changed the version in info.json. ;)

And quick-fixed mod.
I used to play with your great mod - I'm guilty... :roll:

Aforementioned poll is now active. Cast your votes and I'll make any needed changes based on the results!

After launching, of course! It's SATELLITE uplink, not "rocket silo spy". Vote for classical behavior.

I second the current behavior. It makes it more interesting as you actually have to do something to unlock more tech. I think more stuff should be like this.

Here's a counter-argument: the current behavior somewhat collides with the "research all technologies" achievement.

Most in line with the vanilla mechanics would be to have the research unlock after rocket silo, but the station being only usable after having one satellite.
As that would only let you research and build the uplink station while you produce your first rocket, I'm perfectly fine with it staying the way it is.

Here's a hopefully working patch for 0.14.x

Ok, I think the poll has run long enough -- version 1.0.2 is released to support 0.14, with the technology behavior remaining unchanged from previous versions.

i just ran across this mod and combining it with the ion cannon mod, feels like a nicely over powered toy, lol

this is definitely an after end game (as current) weapon, now we just need more "goals" for after end game

but noticing that i am "picking up" alien artifacts while linked to the satellite, and they go poof when i disconnect,
dont suppose that there is anyway they not go poof, and instead get transferred to my inventory?
EDIT:
answer - Place the artifacts in a chest before you disconnect...


thinking maybe we should get another goal that ends up with a space ship picking us up, maybe we should have to build a landing pad, refuel it, repair it, before we scoot off back to our home, after all we crashed on this alien planet, how are we getting home exactly?

Updated to 1.0.3, to resolve errors in Sandbox mode. The mod now also notifies the player that uplink stations are not needed in Sandbox mode. ;)

It would be awesome if you built a ship that you take off in (It has very limited storage) and takes you to a "New planet" with different ores.
Only problem with that is I would imagine it would be hard to disable/enable recipes/research in the same playthrough.

Small update, players are now ejected if the uplink station they're using is destroyed. This should fix a nasty bug that could result in players being permanently in the uplinked state.

Does this work with AAI programmable vehicles? It's an RTS type mod with vehicles you can use to kill biters.

Dag!

Really nice mod. Thanks.

Could you add support for mods "AAI Programmable Vehicles" and "AAI Zones" so that we have an "Unit Remote Controller" and a "Zone Planner" when uplinked?

Unit Remote Controller (unit-remote-control) is given by AAI Programmable Vehicles
Zone Planner (zone-planner) by AAI Zones
