Where to get promethium?

Can this mod remove promethium or add another way to get it from promethium science packs? I'm also using factorio+ and there's no way to get promethium.

How do people think promethium should work?

Maybe to do some science for it and get it after we send a rocket for it (like to select the planet or something like that). I think in exotic industries there was something similar, where you had to lunch rockets to get new materials.

I think it would be neat if there were some special Promethium Collector you launch from Aquilo that costs the quantum CPUs and some other end-game items, and it returns a decent amount of Promethium - since the chunks have a stack size of 1, you'd need lots of cargo bays on your Aquilo landing pad to fit the chunks, but it would be doable!

Edit: Maybe 200 Promethium chunks per launch? That translates to 80 science per launch without productivity.

Currently Promethium science can only be crafted in space, is there a solution to that? How are we meant to craft the science once we get chunks?

It will be no problem to make the packs craftable on land if we figure out the right gameplay.

Would it be possible to just remove the science packs like space packs are removed until there's a mechanic in play?

Good idea. Promethium science is now removed from the tech tree by default, just like space science.

To gather promethium we need to spend research and a lot of ammunition along with thruster fuel and time.

So a simple solution would be a research that would unlock shattered planet as a target location. Shattered planet only exists as a space zone in vanilla, so you could make a landable location, like asteroid belt of Space Exploration that is in space with some landable locations where you gather promethium and send it via rockets to nauvis
