I am using 2 mods: https://mods.factorio.com/mod/team-starts and https://mods.factorio.com/mod/quality-rocket-parts

I have started 2 games, flown to fulgora and when I mined the ruins the game crashes. I have rolled back to version 2.0.25, which is supposed to be the last version that works with team starts but every time I mine fulgoran ruins, the game still crashes. I am super new, sorry if this isn't the right place for this.

I was able to reproduce the issue by having a player to belong to a script created force, save-load to refresh the gui (specifically for the gui to be rebuilt including right panel) and then merge that script created force to become a player force. This matches one of the log records: Issue looks to be related to GUI (specifically CurrentResearchInfo on top of the right panel) not updating ForceID when player changes force.

Thanks for the report. Issue is now fixed for 2.0.29.

Wow, I honestly expected to get told it's a mod issue, get over it. You guys rock!

If the Engine actually crashes, it's always the Engine's fault. Even if the solution is to then tell the mod to not do that by throwing a lua error.

If Factorio is telling you something went wrong, it's a Lua error. If it's a popup saying the game crashed, it's a C++ error.

Not always, sometimes it is a save file corruption exploding on a consistency check, memory corruption or chunk generation request at unreasonable position.

I knew about the chunk generation request
I thought about it while writing that

I still forgot to mention it..


Also IO problems are a myth (aka I've been lucky enough to not have much issue with them. Most I've had is my backup drive filesystem got a tad corrupt which was easily fixable with fsck)
