I would not normally post this to github issues, but I can't find any other place that seems to make sense to ask this question. I am working on Futurepack progression in the Exoria modpack, and I seem to have gotten stuck. I have been to Menalous, but can't find anything further to research. Screenshots of the research tabs should be attached.

As I have never had this problems in any way, most likely something is interfering; atfirst you could test without coremods and check it this solves the problem, then we can figure out which mod exactly is causing this. I bet there are no logs when this happened right ?

It is hard to test as it happens only to some people. Not sure how to recreate it. I have no logs from those people. But several people had this issue and only noticed later when they couldn't proceed as the research didn't unlock. Sorry I am not a big help, but not sure how to help you.

@davqvist what other mods where installed?

It is my Exoria modpack

At menelaus you should use the E-Scanner to explore the planet, like you did at the very start for the normal world.

Unfortunately, I have yet to find anything that I can scan to progress.

The sand, menelaus gravel, the bushes and also the mushrooms should work.

No luck. Nothing changed.

Do you have the advancement for menelaus ?

I do not. I tried taking the ship back home and then back to Menelaus. No achievement.

Thats the Problem, this advancement also unlocks the Menelaus research. Maybe they changed something in Exoria so you need other quests to unlock it.

According to the Exoria pack author, the only change made to futurerpack is that you can't get to Menelaus from Earth. Is there any way to cheat the advancement in place so I can progress?

Solved.
The solution: unlog, edit advancement file adding the following clause, and then load the game.

"fp:menelaus": {
    "criteria": {
      "on_menelaus": "2018-10-02 21:01:00 -0400"
    },
    "done": true
  },

I had like already 4 cases reported where going to Menelaus didn't trigger the advancement or whatever is needed to unlock the new research. Can you investigate that please?

Vanilla uses this:

"criteria": {
        "entered_nether": {
            "trigger": "minecraft:changed_dimension",
            "conditions": {
                "to": "the_nether"
            }
        }
    }

And I use this:

"criteria": {
        "on_menelaus": {
            "trigger": "minecraft:changed_dimension",
            "conditions": {
                "to": "menelaus"
            }
        }
    }

I dont know why it sometimes not trigger.

Edit: In the times I tested it with my friends it always worked, maybe another mod is hooking into the advancements ?
