Is it possible to place it in space?

I haven't played the game in a while, so i tried it out and doesn't let me place it down because it is a "ground vehicle" I'd love to add that functionality but I'm not an expert at coding, maybe in the future!

Here are the criteria SE uses to decide whether you can place a vehicle in space:

if is_surface_space(entity.surface) then
  if (entity.type == "car")
    and (not string.find(entity.name, mod_prefix.."space", 1, true))
    and entity.prototype.effectivity > 0 then
    return cancel_entity_creation(entity, event.player_index, {"space-exploration.construction-denied-vehicle-in-space"}, event)
  end

So viable options are:

• Prototype the entities on something that isn't a car.

• Add "space" to the entity names.

• Ask Earendel for a way to add vehicles that doesn't suck.

Looking at the source of Lex's Aircraft (which does work in space), the aircraft are prototyped on the spidertron. Probably the best option.

So

type = "car",

would become

type = "spider-vehicle",

I tried making it a spider-vehicle but then it asks for a whole different graphics set i cannot wrap my head around, and adding the prefix space has also not worked, im trying to figure out a way

the prefix you want is se-space.

the prefix you want is "se-space". Also, I accidentally double posted instead of editing the previous comment... smh

oh thank you! expect an update soon!
