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

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:
- 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
- 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.

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

I can't reproduce it now!
