ISRU and advanced antimatter plasma drive
So i designed 3 different ships with an advanced antimatter plasma drive, and an ISRU. A dread, bb, and cruiser. Just built some of the dreads. Closed game to go eat.

Come back to play, and realize i want to design a colony ship. For some reason it's not letting me design a ship with an ISRU with that drive now. I can still add a hydron tap, but if i have that drive equipped it wont let me add the ISRU. If i equip the ISRU first, it wont let me equip that drive.

Is the ISRU supposed to work with hydrogen/antimatter drives? It says Hydrogen under propellant, and the hydron tap works so..

Advanced antimatter plasma core drive use Hydrogen + Antimatter as a proppelant materials. 10 Hydrogen + 1000u of antimatter per tank. ISRU module allow you to refuel on empty surface hub-sites with propper resources presented on site. To refuel your ship with ISRU you need to land her on a site with all propelant resourses available to mine. Hydrogen and Antimatter in you case. There is no possible hub-site in game with antimatter present. So there is no chance to ISRU to work with antimatter drives.

That makes sense, but the auto-designer put the ISRU on, with that drive/power plant combo. Guess it's just a bug with the designer.

Note that the Remass Scoop should work (though based on what I've read it might just not actually work at all in the current build due to a bug), because what it cares about is the classification as a Hydrogen drive, not what materials it actually uses. So the Hydrogen drives that also have Antimatter, or Nobles and Fissiles, can repropellant using it.
