I ended up with a similar solution as the poster above, but decided not to post it here, because I don't understand what that code did, and what implications could arise from commenting it out.

local function check_tech()
	if game.players[1] ~= nil then
    if (game.players[1].force.technologies["automated-rail-transportation"].researched) then
        game.players[1].force.technologies["automated-rail-transportation"].researched = false
        game.players[1].force.technologies["automated-rail-transportation"].researched = true
        game.player.force.recipes["rail-layer"].enabled = true
    end
	end
end

I completely agree with that.
Anyways, i think i fixed it, my new check_tech:

Code: Select all

local function check_tech()
	if game.players[1] ~= nil then
    if (game.players[1].force.technologies["automated-rail-transportation"].researched) then
        game.players[1].force.technologies["automated-rail-transportation"].researched = false
        game.players[1].force.technologies["automated-rail-transportation"].researched = true
        game.player.force.recipes["rail-layer"].enabled = true
    end
	end
end

No errors when creating a new map, the Rail-Layer shows in the techtree in the new game and also in an old save which started without the mod and has the tech researched. That's good enough for me. Saving while in the rail-layer still creates an error, but that's beyond my current abilities.

Nope, doesn't work. Trying to host saved game, error pops up, here it is:

Am I supposed to do something else? You mentioned the automatic signal placement, is that something which should be configured somewhere?
