Are you sure? It's working for me. It also works when subgroups are disabled.

Hunh. I get your behavior with plain vanilla, the reported behavior with my mods running. I'll put together a minimal-case reproducer.

edit: setting the use-item-groups = false preference in the config reproduces the behavior even in vanilla, I'll keep looking for what's going on with the mods but that might be enough to make a connection.


with use-item-groups=false in config.ini, regardless of mods, the api calls have no effect and the signal-picker window is blank.

with use-item-groups unspecified in config.ini, in vanilla everything works right, but with my mods everything behaves as reported in 54728

with use-item-groups=true in config.ini, regardless of mods, everything works right, including the api calls [whine](except that the option still has no ui)[/whine]

So I've got a workaround. I'll edit in more details on what it takes to reproduce the unspecified-value case with mods as and when.

I can confirm, in 0.16.3 if you set use-item-groups to false in the config file it will trigger the bug and display an empty 'Select a signal' window.

Actually, what is the purpose of LuaPlayer.enable_recipe_groups? It doesn't have any effect right now. I assume it should enable them if they were disabled via the config file, however that's not working.

On another note, "Use item groups" and "Use item subgroups" have been removed from Options --> Other. I assume this has been done on purpose and the only ways to set it now are the config file or using the console/mods?

Thanks for the report. I've fixed it so the config option works properly now in 0.16.4.
