Thanks for the reply.
Will be getting the patches next month (on a slow connection at the moment). Am on 1.4.02 (i think its something like that)...basically game of the year edition unpatched.
The script editor is enabled and I've never had any problems with any scripts before. The script manager doesnt report any conflicts either, and the script is enabled and active in the current profile! The only conflict I have is between an unlimited factory resource script (which I dont use) and Ashley's factory mod script for fixing resources....might try removing this conflict to see if it helps! (edit: nope didnt help)
Im still confused as to why the asteroid creator script is installed, but ingame doesnt appear under the special command menu when in a ship?
Edit: Still dont get why this doesnt work

. Even looked at the text in the script itself and it totally should work. Thinking there must be a conflict somewhere, but cant for the life of me find it!
Edit 2: Just installed a new script in the same way and it worked fine. Similar kind of setup with the script being run with a command from the console. Weird.
***Ignore the post. I just run it manually from the script editor now and it works great. Love those 400 yield roids
