I'm unsure if this is related, but I'm 90% certain it is, I tried to launch another rocket into the same orbit and got this error message:
The mod Underground Transport (0.1.8) caused a non-recoverable error.
Please report this error to the mod author.
Error while running event UndergroundTransport::on_tick (ID 0)
LuaEntity API call when LuaEntity was invalid.
stack traceback:
[C]: in function 'index'
__UndergroundTransport/scripts/network.lua:72: in function 'tick'
UndergroundTransport/control.lua:11: in function <UndergroundTransport/control.lua:10>
Basically my save is currently bricked due to those two underground transport tunnels. I'll try uninstalling/reinstalling the mod to see if that helps.
