[0.18.9]Space Research Package Problem

[Shoooter13]

Hello fellow developers. I would like to ask you to add such a function to the game so that the rocket does not start if it has a space research package.
The reason for this request is that while I was rebuilding the base, almost 25 missiles were launched, and I didn’t get space research package from them, as there simply wasn’t a buffer on the rocket for them.

Thanks in advance)

There was a discussion about this.

It may make more sense to continue the discussion there.

In the linked topic, they state that this functionality is intentional. However, I believe it could be made more clear as it's not obvious that science packs can get deleted.

Once you know of the issue though, solving it isn't very difficult with the most rudimentary circuit network knowledge. Here's a (the?) short version of how to deal with it:

1. Make a stack inserter extract science pack from rocket silo into chest.
2. With a red or green cable, connect this chest to the inserter that places the satellite into the silo.
3. Set the satellite inserter to only be active if the chest isn't full, for example, with the condition "science packs < 10000" (up to (48-1)*2000 = 94000 for a steel chest with 1 empty slot?).

With this, the satellite will never be placed into the rocket if the chest cannot contain all the science packs generated. This is really easy to set up and foolproof as far as I know.
