I am trying to diagnose a bug in my Telelogistics mod that seems to show up when some other mod creates a planet (or space-location, or surface...?) called "cube1." It would be much easier to figure out what is going on if I could look at whatever code is creating "cube1" of course. Does anyone know what mod this is?
