[0.17.9] After trying to import an invalid string, nothing can be imported

[mward]

I tried to load the blueprint book string from this forum page: viewtopic.php?f=208&t=56192 which gave this error:

Code: Select all

Error while importing string:

Unknown entity name: creative-mode-fix_fluid-void

The book failed to import and from then on, I could no longer import any strings (Control-V did not work) until I quit and restarted Factorio.

a workaround is: use the new infinity-pipe and heat-interface (vanilla)

I should clarify that there are two issues in the report:

1. It would be nice if string loading could fail "gracefully" and load as much of the blueprint book as possible even if there is an error
2. If there is an error, then nothing else can be loaded without first restarting Factorio: this is clearly a bug

Thanks for the report however I can't reproduce what you're describing: when I test importing that it gives the same error and I can import anything else immediately after without any problems.

I am running the Linux version, if that makes a difference.

[Rseding91]

It doesn't. The same logic runs on any platform.

I can't reproduce it now!
