Contract progression jumps from the Mun to Pol

[ocram]

I've finished the main mission to the Mun and accepted the main mission for Duna, now instead of receiving any missions for Minmus I get various types of missions for the moon Pol. I haven't even left the SOI of Kerbin

No matter how many times I cancel the contract offers, another pops up, always for Pol.

It's a bug, whenever you bring back science from any place, that contains "Pol" (Flag pole, Polar craters on Mun, etc.) it's beeing registered as returning science from Pol.

As a workaround, you could remove the section that contains the "returned science from Pol" in the savegame.

Simply open the persistent.sfs and search and delete the Pol section, looking like:

Pol

{

Science

{

(...)

}

}

yes that solved it. Thank you:D

I don't know whether to laugh or cry... but I thank you in advance for whenever I inevitably hit this problem!

That's a really funny bug!

As a software dev this bug made me chuckle, as I know what kind of regex laziness causes it (I've done similar things myself)

if ($science =~ /pol/) {
 $science_target = $planets{'pol'}
}

EDIT:

It would seem this bug was fixed in the steaming fresh 1.0.1 patch that was just released.
