[0.16.51] Strange invisible solar panels

Post by nucleargen »

Played with mods, found next:
Near rail station with lamp and medium power pole i have several invisible solar panels with 10Gj capacity and unknown energy production value.
When i found it - i disabled all the mods and load game, but this solar panels stayed in place. It accidentally appears after some of game loads.

May be, this is related to one of the rail mods, but i doesn't say it clear.

Screenshots and logfile created in vanilla version, with all mods unloaded.
How this &quot;solar panel&quot; looks: blue crosshair near pole.<br />Train station and lamp has been removed.

Normal accumulators won't charge/discharge when connected to grid with bugged panels. Once disconnected from them - normally charges/discharges.

Do you know what mod would have added those panels?

I don't see how this is related to the base game, moving to not a bug

It does not go away when loading without mods though, at least the power networks still shows those producers.

There is a hidden small solar panel prototype in the base game for use in the tutorials, so it is natural it would not dissapear

Found mod, causing this issue.
FactorioMaps
I'll speak about this entity generation and proper mod disabling when using with mod author.
Thanks for help!

upd:
Successfully removed this entities from save. All seems ok.
