g Gleba player soft locked

I'm playing solo, starting on Gleba

My progression locked - I'm unable to research plastics

Plastic research depends on "discovering any planet except gleba"

"Discovering any planet except gleba" is locked behind white science, and blue science

Blue science requires you to produce plastic or red circuits- which requires a rocket launch (using blue circuits, that require plastic)

I recommend plastic research being unlocked with the technology "One of: Plastics, Bioflux processing"

Bioflux Processing should unlock the plastics recipe that uses bioflux, while the (vanilla) plastics technology unlocks plastics from oil products.
You can create plastics from bioflux and use that for the red circuits. The plastics recipe from the (vanilla) plastics technology is useless on gleba.

If you have other mods installed, that remove the plastics recipe from the bioflux processing technology, let me know.

Bioflux processing does not unlock the bioflux plastic recipee. That's unlocked with the "plastics" technology - which is not unlocked unless you discover another planet

Sulfur processing is the same, it's unlocked with the "sulfur processing" technology which is unresearchable

I have all t2 techs - no mods that mess with tech, and can't make plastic or sulfur

Edit: I cheated in the discovery of Nauvis to get around this, but I still wanted to write of this issue

If anyone else is reading and the issue persists the command is:

/c game.player.force.technologies['planet-discovery-nauvis'].researched=true

I see, it happens together with the any-planet-start mod. I will fix the compatibility with this mod, as soon as I have time.
