Fuel burnt result cycle and recipe cycle causes loading screen to hang

[Hokome]

The game gets stuck at 95% loading when you have two items that have each other as burnt result and two recipes that turn the items into each other. It happens if there are more than 3 items and if the cycles don't go the same way (a > b > c > a for fuel, a > c > b > a for recipe still breaks).

It might seem like a very niche thing and it kind of is but I actually encountered this bug by making a mod and it was what I was trying to do. Anyway I think it should at least throw an error even if the case isn't supported, instead of going into an infinite loop.

This is the whole data.lua code

Code: Select all

local function create_fuel(name)
    ---@type data.ItemPrototype
    local item = {
        type = "item",
        name = name,
        icon = "__base__/graphics/icons/solid-fuel.png",
        icon_size = 64,
        stack_size = 50,

        fuel_value = "10MJ",
        fuel_category = "chemical",
    }
    data:extend{item}
    return item
end
local function create_fuel_recipe(ingredient, product)
    ---@type data.RecipePrototype
    local recipe = {
        type = "recipe",
        name = product.name,
        ingredients = {
            { name = ingredient.name, amount = 1},
        },
        --Tried this to see if it would solve the problem but it didn't
        allow_as_intermediate = false,
        allow_decomposition = false,
        result = product.name,
    }
    data:extend{recipe}
    return recipe
end

local fuel_a = create_fuel("fuel-a")
local fuel_b = create_fuel("fuel-b")

create_fuel_recipe(fuel_a, fuel_b)
create_fuel_recipe(fuel_b, fuel_a)

fuel_a.burnt_result = fuel_b.name
fuel_b.burnt_result = fuel_a.name

Here is the log:

Thanks for the report however when I try the code you've provided it loads to the main menu without any issues.

I suspect the actual issue is related to the top few lines of the log file (you're running linux) and or this line in the log file:

0.169 Dedicated video memory size 512 MB

95% is where the final graphics portions are finished and sounds are finished loading. So it might also be sounds related.

The dreaded "it works on my machine"

That might be because I'm on linux yeah, but what I can tell is that if I don't have these fuel cyclic references the game loads fine. So maybe it only causes problems on linux but I think those recipes and fuels are what causes something to break further down the line. Is there anything I can do to help track the bug down?

Also I tried removing editor extensions just in case and it didn't help.

[Rseding91]

Does it happen with *just* the changes you have here (no other mods?) If no, can you zip up your mods folder and upload it here?

There are no code differences between the linux build and the windows build when it comes to this logic.

ALSO, prototypes are already loaded and fully finished before graphics starts loading (around 30% in the progress bar). Maybe it's related to some mod(s) you're using increasing the graphics load which exceeds what your system can handle?

[Hokome]

The only mod I was using was editor extensions (and flib) but even after disabling those, the change persists. I just tried to make a new mod and have only data.lua and info.json (before I still had the other files even if I commented out all the 'requires') and the problem is still here so it has to be these lines of code.

Just in case I put the actual mod in the attachments but appart from the info.json there's nothing new in it.

I played mods with heavy amounts of content like SE and Py mods without issue before too so I know unless something is filling up VRAM indefinitely or something so there's no way I don't have enough performance to at least load one small mod.

(also if needed I'm available on discord, username in the mod file)

[Rseding91]

Loads up without issue for me. Do you have any other computer available you can test on?

[Hokome]

I can try on a Windows VM, my other computer is broken so I can't test with other hardware.

Edit: Nevermind I don't think I can, it's a lot harder than I expected.
