Hello,

I understand the point of letting the players know, when they launched a rocket without a payload.
But having that warning just focus on satellites is bothering, when you use mods, that add different payloads.
With the Ion cannon mod it is bearable, but with the one I am currently working on, it would get old really fast.

So, I suggest just to check, if the recently launched rocket has no payload at all, and then suggesting to add a satellite on next launch.
Koubs idea on that issue.

Or add some kind of flag saying to the game "Hey this is a valid charge for a rocket", so that mod makers can flag their own satellites as valid.

Indeed, Koub.
Your idea is much cleaner.

That made me already think about something. Why do inserters add a satellite automatically as the charge, and not things like rocket fuel.
