Updating old map to dlc

[Apanatchanka]

So i was expecting some stuff to break, but they stole my spidertron !!

[GrizzlyHD]

Are there major issues, I have a map I've been working on for hundreds of hours I'd like to use with the DLC? IS it just the spidertron.

Spidertrons are now requiring resources from other planets, so it makes sense for you to no longer be able to build them, but did they remove your existing ones as well?

[Apanatchanka]

modules 3 have been reverted to modules 2, makes sense for the new recipe too.
i had to fix 1 pipeline so far, so its doing pretty good

[Seth_Haveron]

spidertrons have a new model and moving pattern worse then before so its logical that the existing one need to be updated as well

Hi !
Like you I've a map I've been playing quite much time, at the moment I'm not able to launch any rocket, the satellite just disappears when inserting into the rocket's cargo "box"...
Do you have the same issue / an idea to fix ?

I'm going to wait on opening my 'best' save.

I am holding before buying really, if I can use my current one then I am gladly buy the expansion.

Any breaking changes would be coming from the free v2 engine update (free if you already own v1).

The DLC, itself, will not break anything.

People are confusing the differences between these two things.

I am also having the satellite disappear when inserted into the cargo box.

You now need a new machine to be able to collect space science (cargo landing pad).
It's not that the satellite disappears, it's inserters taking it out (the ones that would normally take out the white science).

Basically, make a cargo landing pad, remove the extractors taking things out from the silo and add them to the cargo landing pad instead.

are they linked to a specific silo or universal? basically, if i have silos spread across the map, can i control where the science packs end up?

[Fel]

I have no idea, I have not used them (didn't have much time to play anything time-consuming and won't for at least a few days) but I have seen it in the technology as well as threads about this issue (satellites "vanishing").

I would assume that you link them or that it would use an empty one when possible, otherwise emptying a single one when you are launching from many silos would be tricky at least.

The satellite launch is not broken, you need to remove the inserter that takes out the science package as it removes the satellite from the rocket. It is also necessary to build the orbital landing base where the science package will be delivered

That did the trick... Thank you!!!

I believe they are linked to logistics, so if you make them request an item they should be able to request it from any silo. So if you make it request only white science it shouldn't recive other drops.
