Hi

If you give the error function a boolean instead of a string the game crash.

Add the following piece of code anywhere (data.lua, control.lua, whatever, it just need to be executed).

Code: Select all

error(true)

or use the provided mod and factorio will crash when it try to execute the line. Here the log for when it crash during data.lua phase of the provided mod.

Code: Select all

   3.503 Error Util.cpp:77: Unexpected error occurred. If you're running the latest version of the game you can help us solve the problem by posting the contents of the log file on the Factorio forums.
Please also include the save file(s), any mods you may be using, and any steps you know of to reproduce the crash.

I know that the error function should be calling with a string but the game shouldn't crash if a mod do something wrong so here the report. Sorry if it has already been reported, doing a search with error and boolean do give lots of result.

Fixed for 0.15.

It's actually a failing of the Lua language not being able to convert a Boolean to a string.

Thanks for the explanation, good luck with the other bug reports
