I am trying to use the jump drive after I mined volcanic ores in the Beyond Mainline Mod, but I can't seem to be able to jump to Elysium? I have only traveled as far as St. Kat, and have tried jumping from the landmark gates (St. Kat, Eridani, RA).

If you are using the jumpdrive correctly and it's not working, I suspect a mod is causing a bug

Beyond the Mainline does not appear to have the Elysium system. Trying to jump to it will never work. This may or may not be intentional on the part of Pixelfck, but it doesn't appear to be a bug.

ohh, of course !
"Transpace unstable in this area!" is the message you get if Elysium is missing from the topology. :)

Hey,

This behaviour is indeed caused by the Beyond the Mainline mod. It is not a bug, instead it is behaviour as intended.

At fist I had the intention of removing the jump-drive entirely, then I decided to only remove the short cut star system Elysium and leave the in-system jump functionality as-is.
I choose not to include the Elysium star system because it always felt like a cheat, goes against the exploration idea and, since the systems the Elysium gates jump you to have a random distribution, may leave you missing out on entire branches.

I there is a strong consensus that Elysium needs to be supported, I will see that it is included in a next release. (But even than, it will require a new game to be started for Elysium to be available).

Cheers,
Pixelfck

You were wise to remove Elysium if that is your opinion.

I make it a priority to get unlimited Elysium access as soon as possible. This lets me manage loot and exploit various tricks much more easily.
