Can't upgrade R&D building to level 3

[seevee]

I am running into an issue that is causing the R&D Building to refuse to apply the final upgrade. This is the only issue I have encountered on my current installation.

Here's the starting state. Note the funds and that all other buildings are fully upgraded:

 

Here I am given the option to apply the upgrade:

 

Here I have applied the actual upgrade:

 

Now here's where the weird stuff starts. After applying the upgrade, I try to enter the R&D Building, only to find that I can't actually research any technologies above 500 science cost:

 

Even weirder, should I enter the SPH, VAB, Tracking Station, or launch any craft from the Launchpad or Runway, the building then reverts back to level 2. The funds for the upgrade remain deducted:

 

Here is my install/system info:

Here is my modlist as exported from CKAN. I am using the latest available mods from CKAN (I know that has historically been troublesome, but I have just jumped back into KSP after an extended hiatus, and this is a fresh installation):

EDIT: logfile here

I am fine editing the savefile to troubleshoot/work around this, but I haven't found any advice specific to manually upgrading buildings. I would appreciate some direction here.

Thank you for your help! Please let me know if I can provide any more information.

You should post a link to the full log file so that you will have a full information. Snippets aren't helpful in most cases.

Here's a link to the logfile: KSP.log

[Superfluous J]

The area of the save you're looking for is "MissionParamsFacilities". here's a fully upgraded one.

		MissionParamsFacilities
		{
			facilityLevelAdmin = 3
			facilityLevelAC = 3
			facilityLevelLaunchpad = 3
			facilityLevelMC = 3
			facilityLevelRD = 3
			facilityLevelRunway = 3
			facilityLevelSPH = 3
			facilityLevelTS = 3
			facilityLevelVAB = 3
		}

If your save is very old, IIRC it used to go from 0 to 1 and now it goes 1, 2, 3. maybe you got some weird number in there like 2.5 or something.

[seevee]

That actually matches what I am finding in my savefile:

 

    MissionParamsFacilities
    {
      facilityLevelAdmin = 3
      facilityLevelAC = 3
      facilityLevelLaunchpad = 3
      facilityLevelMC = 3
      facilityLevelRD = 3
      facilityLevelRunway = 3
      facilityLevelSPH = 3
      facilityLevelTS = 3
      facilityLevelVAB = 3
    }

should I downgrade it to 2 and then attempt to upgrade again?

Can't hurt. I'd also gift myself 1.6 mil

Thanks for the advice! Unfortunately, that did not solve the problem

Have you tried upgrading the buildings from the Alt+F12 Menu?

I am unsure what that menu is, but pressing Alt+F12 does not appear to do anything for me.

EDIT: Probably my fault. I'm running on Linux and that hotkey may be bound to some system setting.

EDIT 2: I do not have that hotkey bound.

Alt+F12 is the Debug/Cheat Menu of the Game(You can do many many things from there).

Rightshift+F12 For linux maybe.Not sure, google it a bit more  .

That actually worked! Thank you!

By the way, the hotkey on Linux appears to be RShift+F12.

You can do all sort of stuff from there, even get in orbits to test crafts etc.I am glad you got it fixed  .

[seevee]

That's incredibly handy. Learning new things about this game every day

Thanks again!

I'd be very curious the difference between your save right before and right after doing that debug menu upgrade.

Here's the section in question for the save:

    MissionParamsFacilities
    {
      facilityLevelAdmin = 3
      facilityLevelAC = 3
      facilityLevelLaunchpad = 3
      facilityLevelMC = 3
      facilityLevelRD = 2
      facilityLevelRunway = 3
      facilityLevelSPH = 3
      facilityLevelTS = 3
      facilityLevelVAB = 3
    }

It looks like it downgraded RD to 2, but the game is treating it like a perfectly normal 3-level building. Weird stuff.
