Updating to 17.58 did resolve this. Apologies for the confusion.

Edit: Here it was...

Version 0.17.47

Bugfixes

Fixed that the game crashed when passing train signal while driving train in manual mode.

Oh weird. I had updated the game before playing and just assumed it updated to 17.56, but apparently it didn't. Okay, will update again and see if the issue is still there.

Okay, I read the dialog error message more carefully this time. Here is the log file directly after a crash. Very repeatable, but obviously it might be my computer and not the game per se. Tried uploading the save here but it seemed to fail -- it is a fairly large save 75Mb.

Err, played after repeating the bug several times. I should be able to reproduce it, where would I find log? Is the file name just a date/time stamp?

Edit: Ahh, it is the "factorio-current.log" -- so I should crash it and then post that file?

Just updated from 17.17 to 17.56 -- I am getting a crash when, I am traveling by train, I open menu for the train I'm on, I attempt to switch from automatic to manual, BLAM. It blows up. Just me? Could provide my save if you are interested. Not using any train mods...

I've been away from the game for a bit. Just jumped back in and updated from 17.17 to 17.56 -- I am getting a crash when, I am traveling by train, I open menu for the train I'm on, I attempt to switch from automatic to manual, BLAM. It blows up. Just me?

What can happen is train A selects a spot prior to train B taking the spot, then train A arrives before a recalculation of its path has been forced. You can place two signals wired together just before the parking lot to force a pathing recalc, I have included a blueprint. 0eNqlkm1OwzAMhq8y+XcmrYMB...

What is the best advice to get pass blue science? I have tried about 3 different factories but gave up on all of them because my factories were too messy. Any advice? (Besides making my factory less messy.) Are you using a "bus"? That really simplifies things. Basically put resources on b...

Unless something changed recently, you can open the blueprint book and simply click and drag blueprints into whatever order you want. But if you add a blueprint to a book that sits in your library... it auto-orders in alphanumeric order. Hmm, I had not noticed this behavior. But I'll take your word ...

No, it is typical for any mod that adds loops. It ends up tracing the resources back until some cutoff point and you get a ton of all the resources tangentually related via said loops.

Huh. Used plenty of mods, including at least some of ones shown here and have never seen that problem. Weird.

Uh, is it just me or does this seem like the core of the problem must be a bug in one of those mods? The list of raw materials you use as an example makes no sense.

Yeah, I have never completely understood this behavior either. In most cases it seems to be a situation of you need to be able to place a signal on both sides of the track, but there are exceptions.

You say that it's impossible to build a perfect 3-1 balancer that will still balance its inputs evenly, even if some of them are missing. It's not, at least not if you allow a little bit of circuit network. Here's how: Build a standard 4-to-1 pyramid. Hook the unused output back into the unused inp...

I'm not certain what you are asking. If you are asking when you click on a train, can you search for a station. Then no. When adding a station all your train stations will be listed alphabetically for you to select from. When you click on a train, if you want to change the order of the stations on t...

-Steam power starting to run out. Should I continue with steam? As someone else said, it is possible to continue with steam. Even fun to manage the belting of the coal as your power needs ramp up. Personally, I generally rely on solar and accumulators. They are so much easier than nuclear. Once you...

Use the "rough" spot toward the right side of the bar to drag a station in a train's schedule. Don't think the train list itself can be modified. It is alphabetical.

RGB is for computers
use HSV for humans

Okay, I doubt it was intended but this was very funny. You don't get what you might expect by Goggling "HSV"...

I've lost a lot of enthusiasm for and interest in the game due to the rail planner changes. I haven't upgraded since 0.17.28, aside from a brief test to make sure they work as I expect them too. Really? That just seems odd. How does it impact your game play heavily? Even in my largest base with doz...

That's a good point. I've certainly spent far more time clearing "polluted" belts than I ever did fixing "polluted" pipes.
