It looks like to unlock white science, I need the standard Silo and then Space equipment, but to get the Silo, I need quantum processors, which require white science?
If this is intentional, I cant ever get white science.
This is not intentional and was fixed in version 0.0.2. I am actively playing on this version and can confirm it has been fixed. I am not sure why Factorio is not pushing the mod update out. I recommend just downloading 0.0.2 version from the downloads on this forum.
I am on 0.0.2 and I need to build an asteroid collector to start with space science. Am I missing something? I disabled all the other mods I'm running except the expansion stuff and still get this issue.
Oh, I thought you could do everything you needed on Nauvis. Looking at the tech tree, you need the quantum processor tech to unlock the rocket silo, and space science is needed to unlock module 2s. That can't be right?
Everything is available on Nauvis, but to compensate, the price of the rocket silo and rocket parts are more expensive (requiring quantum processors instead of blue chips for processors and requiring lithium and quantum processors for the rocket silo). To offset this change, most of the research that required white science is changed to not need it any more. For the modules, are you referring to quality module 2 research? If so that is a bug and I will fix it as soon as I can.
I forgot to change this after I downloaded a mod that made the modules back to pre space age recipes. Sorry for that. It has just been fixed in the 0.0.21 update.
