"Launch pad blocked" tooltip doesn't say what's blocking the rocket path

The tooltip for the error was clearly supposed to list a number of buildings that were obstructing the rocket's path, but didn't. As such, I ended up asking on reddit - and while I got an unreasonably quick reply, the game should have just told me what was wrong. (And clearly intended to, so I don't know whether there's a localisation bug or something?).

If I stick a ladder really close to the rocket I get the same error, so it's not limited to gantries.

This is build U50-583750-V.

Steps to Reproduce

Build a steam rocket, fuelled up, with something that the game thinks is obstructing the launch but otherwise with a destination set, an atmo suit, a dupe assigned etc.

Hover over the "Launch path blocked" error in the command capsule.




User Feedback


I have the same problem, and I tried everything and it really is annoying. The game is great, but in that game I cannot send out the same rocket a third time, after I added a solid thruster, because somehow, the game lost 0.4 databanks, so I could not do the liquid hydrogen engine.

But yeah, can someone fix it, or have an idea how to work around it?

@Leaddolphin I believe it's your gantry.  The two immobile tiles count as solid and it looks maybe one tile too far to the right. (truth told I havn't played the base game in years, so I may not know wt# I'm talking about.)
