For some reason the rocket didn't have any connected drone controllers (drone hubs/etc), which is pretty weird since it needed a controller to load the export resources in the first place...

Oh my god, I can't thank you enough, that stupid rocket finally unloaded and left! I really appreciate such a quick fix. (I'm sure Blue Sun is thankful too, they finally get to have their rocket back) First time in years I've been playing with your mod that a rocket managed to get stuck despite it, and now even that is fixed. It's absolutely disgraceful that Paradox just dropped support for this game, but thanks to your and other modders' efforts, it's still doing well.

v2.5
Trade rocket unloading resources.


@VengefulAncient
No worries, I do that all the time :)

For next time; if you add a space after mega then it won't try to parse the url
VengefulAncient Jul 20, 2024 @ 11:15am 
Of course Steam had to remove the link. Let's try this: mega dot nz slash file slash lllijSSD#8lCb74qZOPP0YiSjj4EGSywZKYg2Wjb76AUqMUg58aY

@ChoGGi Sorry, I've somehow managed to completely forget about this after my last post. {LINK REMOVED} is the save file with the stuck rocket.
ChoGGi  [author] Mar 23, 2024 @ 9:19am 
Yeah, I'll take a look

This mod has been wonderful in preventing stuck rockets, but I've finally encountered one that refuses to leave. Blue Sun trade rocket, stuck on unloading food (at 146.3) I bought from them, has been there for IDK how many sols at this point. Would you be kind enough to take a look at my save file? Or I'd be happy to destroy this rocket altogether if I knew how.

That's not part of this mod, just happened to get included in screenshot.

xavier.blaise May 16, 2023 @ 9:42pm 
the mod is loaded as i can see it in mod options but the rocket screen doesnt display the "cheats" part. Anything to do ?
ChoGGi  [author] Feb 20, 2023 @ 11:30am 
You'll need to put some spaces in the url so steam doesn't block it (remove http and maybe a space before the .com?).
ChoGGi  [author] Jan 22, 2023 @ 12:56pm 
I'll take a log file, I might be able to fix it that way....

Sorry can't help you, I can't load saves with custom assets. I keep Silva's ucp mod around for testing, but I'm not keeping all his outdated mods around.
starkiller239 Jan 21, 2023 @ 6:43am 
alright, so it did fix the stuck passengers, the passengers just disappear and some suffocate to death. Even addition passenger rockets still end up the same.
starkiller239 Jan 20, 2023 @ 8:45pm 
okay, for some reason the link was deleted.

The rocket with the passengers are on the way back, so it hasn't landed yet.
starkiller239 Jan 20, 2023 @ 8:17pm 
passengers are not unloading, here is the .sav {LINK REMOVED}

Fixed a bugged rocket that was "waiting for resource unload" in the Port Vesta mission (those rockets don't unload resources, only takes them) and took off pretty much as soon I had the mod installed. Thanks!
ChoGGi  [author] Nov 16, 2022 @ 10:46pm 
Your welcome :)
zenor.zly Nov 16, 2022 @ 10:45pm 
太感谢了,一直卡在这个bug
6lancmange Jul 15, 2022 @ 9:44am 
Unfortunately, I failed the mystery 'cause I couldn't provide the resources in time. I'm considering starting all over again...
ChoGGi  [author] Jul 14, 2022 @ 5:46pm 
Without being too spoilery, if any more of those rockets get stuck then save and load it again, it should launch them.
6lancmange Jul 14, 2022 @ 9:41am 
YES. Oh my god, it finally left! Thank you so much!
ChoGGi  [author] Jul 13, 2022 @ 7:29pm 
v2.3
Trade rocket from Beyond Earth mystery.


(give it 10 seconds)
6lancmange Jul 12, 2022 @ 5:21am 
Please help! I landed the Spring City trade rocket away from any drone hubs so that it wouldn't keep draining my resources and I could load it using RC transporters and commanders, and I suspect this might've caused the problem. It's loaded with what it needs, but it says "waiting for unloading" (wtf? stupid). I unloaded all the polymers (and then some – look at my published screenshot) and reloaded again, didn't help.
Here's the save: https://easyupload.io/d798rw
ChoGGi  [author] May 5, 2022 @ 6:52pm 
If you're talking about the future one or the train one, there's mods to allow those in old saves.
Yekkusu May 5, 2022 @ 5:59pm 
This mod is awesome. It's annoying to know that a modder had to fix a bug on a non-modded game. And while I was searching, I found out this bug is happening since 2018! Holy hell. And here was I asking why I need a new save game to make a cosmetic DLC to work, but looking at these bugs I now know why.
Blakeyrat Mar 29, 2022 @ 4:21pm 
Worked for me, thanks so much!
ChoGGi  [author] Feb 20, 2022 @ 9:16pm 
No idea, but this guy also has a stuck landing pad (hopefully the same issues as yours): https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/threads/surviving-mars-unable-to-use-remove-a-landing-pad.1490823/

v2.2
Fixed stuck landing pad from bugged rocket construction.
shadowpirate250 Feb 16, 2022 @ 3:49pm 
here is the save again in case it was corrupted https://easyupload.io/ktwksk

This is amazing! That Chinese rocket had been sitting on my launch pad for a month. Glad to finally have it gone.
ChoGGi  [author] Feb 15, 2022 @ 4:52pm 
I disable the stuff that stops me from loading saves without mods. I normally only get that msg when I'm missing the dlc. Not sure what's up, could be a mod? I'll have to dig around.
shadowpirate250 Feb 13, 2022 @ 7:28pm 
i couldnt get it to load with no mods eithier
shadowpirate250 Feb 13, 2022 @ 7:26pm 
it uses some mods mostly ones you made. do you need a list?
here is a link to the list https://www.dropbox.com/s/81k66m5udk1p3sl/mod%20list.txt?dl=0
i didnt want to type the whole thing so i pasted from the log and deleted the ones i wasnt using
ChoGGi  [author] Feb 13, 2022 @ 9:50am 
I can't load that save file? (not sure why all it says is "err-msg: Failed (loadgame)").
shadowpirate250 Feb 11, 2022 @ 2:43pm 
here it is on dropbox https://www.dropbox.com/s/qwgoeeo3wgnwymf/Japan.savegame.sav?dl=0 i named the dead pad "dead" lol
ChoGGi  [author] Feb 11, 2022 @ 8:12am 
https://easyupload.io/ or google drive/etc
shadowpirate250 Feb 11, 2022 @ 7:14am 
i tried it and it doesnt fix it. where do i send the save?
ChoGGi  [author] Feb 10, 2022 @ 3:57pm 
You can try it and see?
ChoGGi  [author] Feb 10, 2022 @ 3:56pm 
If it isn't in the list then I'll need to see the save file.
shadowpirate250 Feb 10, 2022 @ 7:32am 
does it fix pads that become unusable after the rocket is destroyed on a mission?
ChoGGi  [author] Jan 2, 2022 @ 3:52pm 
It should launch as soon as you load the save. It shows 2.0 in the mod manager?

I'll take a log file of you loading the save then quitting?

SnoopyTiga Jan 2, 2022 @ 3:32pm 
It doesn't fix it on my end =(
resubbed the mod, reloaded the mod from the intgame mod manager site.
activate deactivate, couple times loadet the save new.
All the same, only prio button and it's stuck on the ground =/
Am I missing something?
ChoGGi  [author] Jan 2, 2022 @ 9:43am 
Seems to be fixed.
SnoopyTiga Jan 1, 2022 @ 6:14pm 
With the help of google and an old comemnt from you I found the save and a site to share :)

https://easyupload.io/g94opf

-Accepted trade = food for cash
Rocket was already refueled, the landing pad is a normal (not autotrade / trade pad)
In the save I tested with the second trade option with china. But it also occurs with the first trade.
I can't even salvage the rocket, only prio settings.
Do you need more informations?
And thanks a LOT for even looking into it :)
ChoGGi  [author] Jan 1, 2022 @ 10:12am 
Do you know how to find your save file?
SnoopyTiga Jan 1, 2022 @ 9:43am 
Hey, happy new year.
I came across this mod because well.. my rocket got stuck
I was worried, because your description doesn't list my case. And sadly the fix isn't working =(
I accepted a trade with china for 50 food = 208 cash.
I tried with the Ark or whatever faction. They load the rocket with the food, all ready to takeoff, but nothing happens.
I deactivated ALL mods, (automated trade mod etc) loaded this one. nothing happens.
Lancar Nov 14, 2021 @ 12:06pm 
okey, it didn't occur to me before, but trying to send the rocket to an entirely different expedition managed to reset it and cause it to take off normally.
Lancar Nov 14, 2021 @ 11:40am 
I think others are having this too.
https://steamcommunity.com/app/464920/discussions/0/3158706376162057620/
A dev said it's fixed for next update, so i guess all there is to do is wait for that. Whenever that is ;)
Lancar Nov 14, 2021 @ 11:28am 
did that. As i said, the expedition doesn't even exist anymore, but the rocket thinks it does. All i can do with the rocket is salvage it or increase/decrease prio. That's it.
ChoGGi  [author] Nov 14, 2021 @ 11:24am 
cancel the exped and try redoing it?
