Hello guys,

just dived into the alpha. Man, there's so much stuff, I love it. One thing I'm unsure about is, how to put these Science Packs automatically into the Lab as I don't want to shift these around all the time.I tried to put the Science Pack 1 with an Inserter into the Lab, but it let me. Is this intended or unimplemented?

Greetings,

Faerbit

P.S.: Another minor Bug I just noticed: If you Alt-Tab back to the game rather than clicking on it in the Taskbar, the technology tooltips don't show up. Btw I'm using Windows 7 64-bit.

Hi faerbit,

it not only possible to put science packs into the lab automatically, it is advised.
The inserter is smart enough, to put only science packs that are needed for the current research inside, so
if you are not currently researching, the inserter will not insert anything.

PS. I will inspect the bug.

Just wanted you to know that it works now for me. Thanks. Also the technology tooltips seem to kind of fail randomly, like completely unrelated to applications switching. Reopening the technology windows seems to solve this.

Not to me. I got an issue with chemistry : I just needed 1 step to get it, but it never worked ... but consummed science pack Tier I and II ^^

Thank you for the save, it helped me to find the bug easily, it will be repaired in 0.2.6 (will be released today)

The 0.2.6 is released. I'm deeply sorry for the trouble: http://kovarex.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=21
