Hello fellow developers. I would like to ask you to add such a function to the game so that the rocket does not start if it has a space research package.
The reason for this request is that while I was rebuilding the base, almost 25 missiles were launched, and I didn’t get space research package from them, as there simply wasn’t a buffer on the rocket for them.

Thanks in advance)

There was a discussion about this.

It may make more sense to continue the discussion there.

In the linked topic, they state that this functionality is intentional. However, I believe it could be made more clear as it's not obvious that science packs can get deleted.

Once you know of the issue though, solving it isn't very difficult with the most rudimentary circuit network knowledge. Here's a (the?) short version of how to deal with it:

Thank you guys.
