Thanks for the info! Right now I've only updated it to work with 2.0 without Space Age, this is something I'll be working on within the next few days. I'll let you know once it's done! ;)

I've been working on it, but there is currently an issue with the rocket silo and automated launches to orbit when using the Space Age mod. I've made a bug report on the official Forums and I'm waiting for a reply from the devs. In the meantime, I'm working on making sure all other parts of the mod are ready and I'm hoping to be able to release the update as soon as the auto-launch problem is solved. Thanks for your patience. :)

Alright, I've figured out everything I needed, so Space Age compatible update is here! You can build the ground stations (and combinators) on planets and launch satellites from them, each satellite will produce as much power as 10 normal quality solar panels in space. Next step will be to add quality power sats, I'll try to add it within the next few days. ;)

You're using PowerSats 0.1.3, which is the old version. You're also using older Factorio version (2.0.21), the new version of the mod requires Factorio 2.0.22 and higher. Update your game, then you'll be able to update the mod. ;)

(updated a month ago)

D'oh! Sorry, it's my mistake, I thought 2.0.22 was the stable release. Though this might be a problem, since 2.0.22 changes the way rocket events are handled and I'll have to figure out another workaround for this. I'll check it out and try to push an update tomorrow to make it work with 2.0.21 as well, I'll post here when it's done.

Alright, the compatibility with 2.0.21 has been patched in. There's the 0.2.2 version, which will work on Factorio 2.0.21 and the 0.2.3 version, which will work on the next stable version once it's released. Thanks for reporting the problem, let me know if you encounter any more issues. ;)
