Just started a new game with space exploration. For some reason all the direct prerequisite technologies for the satellite rocket silo research are all already unlocked, like low density structure, radar, rocket fuel and so forth. Not sure if it's a minor bug or for some reason intended.

It's very intended, as you will need to launch satellites to discover new planets, moons, asteroid belts, and asteroid fields in order to expand into space.

Spoiler:
It'll be a fun ride!

Spoiler:

you can only research the first 6 sciences on land (red, green, blue, gray, purple, and yellow). From space science on (and this mod has 5 new space science packs), you can only research them in special labs in space. Also, each satellite launch will only give you 100 space science (they are now called rocket science). However, you can produce rocket science, just not use it on land

It'll be a fun ride!

So why exactly are those technologies unlocked? The sciences required for those are red, green and blue.

Are you saying they're already researched, or available to research? And what else do you have researched already?

Not sure how much this matters, but what version of the game are you on, and what version of SE?

They are unlocked, meaning, they are researched. I have not yet unlocked electricity and I can already build rocket fuel. Latest versions to this point in time, all recommended mods.

That post was kinda directed @Earendel, since it is probably a minor bug.

well, the best chance for him to see bug reports is on his discord.

Hello!

I would like to ask if it's possible to "forget" and completely unload discovered planets from memory.
My gaming laptop is not really that new and powerful (Razer Blade y. 2015). While playing I just for fun launched satellites to see how other planets look and what's there. Now I have 8 planets and saving/loading time is too long. Is there a way (programmatically as well) to completely erase the information that I have discovered some planet and unload it's all resources from the save. FPS/UPS is pretty fine and 55-60 all the time but when saving hits it takes a minute. I don't know if this is because if SE mod and resources on other planets but I cannot think about anything else if it has started since discover.

Regards

Hi I encounter the following bug. Game won't upgrade:

I'm getting the same error as derben, after updating to the latest version. This pops-up when trying to load a safe without changing any settings or mods, apart from updating.

I was having the same issue. Manually rolling back to the previous version of space exploration is my current work around.

Edit:

Of course, after I posted this, I noticed a new version has been released

I'm getting this error since the last Factorio update :

Likewise. Going back to 0.17.62 got rid of the error. I wonder what changed in the update to cause this.

This is the cause of the error, it affects many mods as far as I can see.

The developers state that this replaces a crash-to-desktop with an error on load. I'm personally unsure what exactly triggered the CTD, but presumably it involved the interaction of these entities with ... something else -- just using the SE turbine worked OK for me, but I didn't try anything too fancy.

I did, on the other hand, discover a couple CTD problems where fluid systems could be mixed by mod version changes and/or adding and removing mods, which I believe was part of the trigger for the new restrictions and tests. (Well, also, that apparently Assembler Pipe Passthrough is the mod which has caused the greatest number of CTDs of any mod, and that is where I found mine.)

So... yeah. Hard rules, but I think like the rail restrictions, they eliminate an entire large class of errors in one shot, by making the preconditions for them impossible to trigger. and, clearly, not breaking base-game stuff, so at least theoretically fully usable by mods to achieve successful outcomes.

any idea how to generate or resources for crafting without bring tons of woods or fish from earth to space? first i think that cultivation fish in space will be positive balance but after calculation and practice it shows big negative. so i completly lost how to implement self sustained green science

Biosludge from biomass gives 100 surplus if I recall correctly.

not normal work - you Space Exploration WIP mod offed in game

find bug 2

Hello
