Satellite gets dropped in a cargo pod
Posted: Fri Jun 05, 2026 7:56 pm
Running vanilla (no space age), and I notice a warning about "unclaimed items waiting in drop pods".
I check it out, and... There's a dropped cargo pod, containing a single satellite.
I have a cargo landing pad slightly to the south for space science, with plenty of space which I'd usually get, but:
1) Why drop a satellite
2) Why leave it in a pod instead of the landing pad?
Launching more satellites drops space science as expected, and I'm not sure when this appeared...
Not sure if this is a bug, but it's hella weird.
Save game attached.
