Space Exploration's Navigation Sat mode switches to a non-actor mode which can only place Ghosts, I have not thoroughly checked but I suspect that this mod does not do a check for "Can be placed on this surface", so this is a two-request-synergy: check for all Placeables in Crafting Menu when in Non-actor/Navsat mode, and filter by Surface Type Permissive (Planet, Orbit, Spaceship)

I think this is more of a problem with Space Exploration where it's hard to change inventory contents depending on the surface type (I have to manually put away a bunch of my inventory items into a chest when I launch a rocket into space, and then again when I return from space)

Yeah, there is no event that fires when the surface the player is on changes. I asked the spaceExploration devs to implement an event I could latch onto when this happens but that was a while back, and I'm unsure it ever actually got implemented. They are so busy with more important things that I didn't feel it worth bothering them too much about it haha
