[Fixed][0.17.4] Pollution factor setting or map string don't work

Post by catpig »

Hello,
after hundreds of hours my first noteworthy bug :)

Since I can't find a good way to explain the bug I'll just skip straight to the steps to reproduce. This is on 0.17.4, German Win10-64, game language English.

Steps to reproduce:
- Start the game, click play, click new game
- Import this map exchange string:

Code: Select all

- That game was created with a pollution factor of 37 - note how the game shows 200. But let's ignore that and set it again by double clicking the field and typing in 37
- Press Play
- Save the game and quit back to the main menu
- Click Play, Load Game, select the save we just made, click map exchange, copy, confirm, back, new game.
- Import the (new, though it looks identical) exchange string and see how pollution factor is 200 again.


So I can see one of two bugs here, or perhaps both - the pollution evo in my last game (where i had set it to even lower) certainly seemed to be rather fast:
- Either the pollution factor setting isn't made in the first place or/and
- the map exchange string export and/or import don't correctly deal with pollution factor

Note that I play with many mods including Bobangel. I originally discovered the bug by running 0.17.4 through Galaxy (I "implanted" the 0.17.4 I manually installed into the galaxy folders), but I confirmed it by going through the above steps on Factorio-install created by the factorio.com installer.

Cheers,
Catpig

Edit: I should note, this is with many mods.

Sorry for the late reply, I had wrong (for me) forum settings. But I did see something in the changelog where I thought "hey, that might've fixed my bug". I just tried to reproduce myself and can't anymore either so this can be moved to resolved. Thanks!

Edit: I edited the title
