[kovarex] [2.0.20]Galaxy of fame UI not avalable.

[oobanooba]

I'm not 100% certain that this isn't a case of user error, but I also can't for the life of me figure out why the galaxy of fame option isn't avalable.

I've already beaten the game on this save and had uploaded my save already, so I should have met all the conditions. But now I want to reupload my save to be able to show off all the new things i've built.

I've parked my ship at the solar system edge just like I did when I beat the game initially. but the menu option is entirely absent. I lost the option when my first spacecraft to the solar system edge was destroyed (shortly after I beat the game), and it hasnt been avalable to me since then.

If anyone knows whats going on here, i would greatly appreciate it.

Hey there, can you please post your Factorio log file? I think the UI doesn't show when you're not logged in, maybe that's the reason it's not showing. Are you logged in when checking the Other category in Settings?

I am logged in, and have tried logging in and out. No change.

Since I had time, I figured I'd try and do a little testing in an attempt to reproduce the issue. *I have updated the game to 2.0.21

I created a new freeplay map and used a couple cheats to get me to the solar system edge. The galaxy of fame popup appeared as it should and gave me the option to upload and the pause menu option also remained avalable afterwards as expected.

This suggests to me that my issue with the galaxy of fame UI option not being avalable is a save file related issue.

To replicate the conditions of my save, I allowed asteroids to destory my craft. This caused the option to dissapear after I respawned back at Nauvis. From what I know, this is not expected behavior. The option should remain.

In the same save, I created a new craft and returned to the galaxy edge. However the option does not reappear. This save is effectively locked out of the galaxy of fame forever.

Returning the ship to Aquilo orbit and allowing it to be destroyed there yeilds the same result.

If i reload the save from just before my initial victory, allow the galaxy of fame menu option to appear, and then send the ship back to nauvis without letting it get destroyed, the option remains avalable to me.

I did a few more tests and will summarise them all here.
(all are post victory screen)
Destroyed while parked at solar system edge and player is onboard -> Option dissapears
Destoryed while traveling back to Aquilo and player is onboard -> Option dissapears
Destroyed while parked at aquilo and player is onboard-> Option Dissapears
Destoryed while parked at Aquilo and player is not onboard -> Option remains
Destroyed while parked Nauvis and player is onboard -> Option Dissapears* (most of the time? I tried ~8 times, but only had the option remain twice. The inconsistency is odd, maybe I goofed up the methodology?)
Destroyed while parked at Nauvis and player is not onboard -> Option Remains
Destroyed while parked at Aquilo and player has gone to surface, and launched back up to ship -> Option Dissapears
Player killed by biter while parked at aquilo (using editor to walk on platform) -> Option dissapears
Player Killed by biter while parked at nauvis (using editor to walk on platform) -> Option dissapears
Second, other ship Destroyed while parked at aquilo and player is onboard -> Option Dissapears
Second, other ship Destroyed while parked at nauvis and player is onboard -> Option Dissapears
Player killed by big stomper pentapod after landing on nauvis -> Option dissapears (10/10 repeats)

Tl;DR It appears that if the player dies after victory, the option to upload to galaxy of fame dissapears permenantly for that save, and the save can never be added to the galaxy of fame.

I hope this helps out in any way? Its kind of a bummer if I can't upload my save to the galaxy of fame because I died and chose to respawn rather than reloading.

I have the same issue. Completed it, uploaded my records. Then my ship got destroyed. Now I cannot see an option in the menu to view my records
