Factorio Forums

Hello,
I create a scenario from a saved map using map2scenario.
I edit some things in the map, i save the scenario, then I go to open to play it and it gives me a error and crashes:

"Can't save map, entity list of entities staged for update of links is not empty." Inserter, fast inserter, ....

I have seen that more users report this error with no solution. It seems an error because of different versions??

Please, help!

I use latest version on steam (14), with base mod.

Thanks in advance

Did you read this: viewtopic.php?f=7&t=3638 How to report a bug - READ BEFORE POSTING

Moved from General to bugs in the hope, that the missing information will be added.

BTW: Why did you modify a map? It's a binary format that needs to be converted with each new Factorio version! So, when you use the version you played this map the last time, you might be able to load it and then save it to load it in a newer version.

Just to be sure I understand correctly, you used a mod to edit a save-file to make it a scenario and you now can no longer open it and consider this a bug in the base game?

I modify it because for example I want to add resources near my base. Then I go to open the saved scenario and is when while opening I get the error.
I run .14 version with steam, W10.

I dont use a mod to edit a save-file. I create a scenario based in my saved game. For creating my scenario i use map2scenario command. Then, I use the scenario editor from the base game and try to Open as a new map. I did it a month before with .12 version and it worked.
No mods in hole process.

Do you need more information? Any solution?

No, now we wait for a dev to pick this one up.

Thanks for the report,

Though i haven't confirmed it,
I guess the number of reports confirms it

How do I reproduce this? When I tested with a save file using map2scenario, adding some inserters and trees, and then saving and opening it to play it worked without issues.

Does someone have a save file before any conversion that I can use with steps to reproduce this?

I am at work. I will send you one save file when I arrive home. And the created scenario also, if you want.

(Most) bugs are easy with a way to reproduce them

BTW, when do you expect to publish 0.14.3??? Thanks!!

Probably tomorrow.
I also made an automatic system, that converts map to scenario (but the initial state, not the current one) and saves it to scenarios whenever you (down)load a game in multiplayer. Good for spreading new scenarios with the matching server.
