Too much data? Not so!

[joemadeus]

I have a pair of stations, one orbiting the Mun and one orbiting Minmus, with Mobile Processing Labs attached (the one around Minmus, in fact, has two.) Every time I load data to these Labs I get the same error: "...not enough data storage to research [science study name here]." Thing is, I definitely have enough data storage available -- in fact, when I check the data storage levels before and after transferring from the experiment to the Lab I find that exactly the right amount has been claimed by the new data.

Is this truly an error? Did I misconfigure (misbuild?) something? I'd like to return these studies for their full science potential but somehow I don't think I'm doing that.

Thanks for the help! (Also, first post here...)

Welcome to the forums!

Yeah, that's a known bug, it appears to be harmless.  I've run into it myself.  As long as it does actually stick the data into the lab, it seems like a harmless cosmetic bug that it's saying "not enough space".

Excellent, thanks for that. Also, thanks for the link to the issue tracker -- I didn't know that was public.

Speaking of science and labs, (and maybe I should start a new thread for this, not sure) if I research something in the labs but never return that science to Kerbin (by sending Jebediah, let's say, back home), do I get credit for it under the planets/biomes/situations list in the Science bits of KSC? I've never been able to really tell if the results are chalked up there even if the Labs module handles it.

Thanks again!

Do you mean in the science archives tab of the research and development building? I don't believe so. I'm fairly certain that processing a science experiment result into data in the lab does not check anything off in the archives. You have to either transmit or return the result for that to happen.
