The game RUNNING in Map Editor

[GregR]

So this is what I know. I am making a huge game in the map editor. This has happened before, but I just thought I was crazy. When the game was AUTOSAVING, it just activated, like started running. The game was fully running in map editor. Very cool, but not for what I needed. This is the second time it has happened in this same setup, but not at the same time.

I BELIEVE I was editing a train (pathing info) or a stack filter inserter at the time, but honestly I'm not sure. If it happens again I will update more, I'm not even sure if I am giving the right info, because when it happened I freaked out b/c all my trains started moving. This "save" I am giving is not the current one, I tried to go back to give the previous autosave (which now typing this out I know is dumb). I believe when I saved it again, and came back to the game, everything was in whatever place it was at the save point, no longer moving.

Since I asked myself this the first time, I KNOW I was in map editor, and not playing the game by accident. This is why I didn't post it the first time despite double checking myself.

The attached save is right before it happened, but it doesn't repeat. EDIT: I can't attach the save file, it says ERROR PARSING SERVER RESPONSE. Maybe it is too big (36.1 MB)

Time can run in the editor, you can look at the tab with the big clock for more details

There is also a hotkey (Numpad 0 by default) to toggle time running or not

As for that there is nothing I see here that is a bug, I guess you accidently hit the hotkey or something

OMG I Never knew that!!!!
I asked in the reddit but no one answered. Thank you for the info. Not a bug, just a dumb user.
