[0.16.51] Items on belt static after removing modded item

We are aware of them, but they have low priority. We have more important things to do. They go here in order not to take space in the main bug thread list.

[0.16.51] Items on belt static after removing modded item

Post by Muppet9010 »

We found that our belt's items were static with gaps in after removing a mod that added an item present on that belt.

To Witness Issue
  1. load mod that added the charcoal item (fws_0.1.11): https://mods.factorio.com/download/fws/ ... 000b412b43
  2. load save which has full belts of mixed items, everything is fine:

  3. remove mod and load save, static items on belt with gaps occur.
  4. if you interact with the belt in any way it recovers.


In the real game the belt was a long straight with many splitters sending fuel down feeder lines to furnaces, rather than it being a loop as per this demo. However, the belt was fully backed up and stationary with the mixed items prior to the mods removal.

Thanks for the report. This is working as intended: the belt doesn't wake up due to migration removal of items. Most of the game works this way as an intended simplification. If you just go touch the belts (remove an item) they will wake up and start normal movement.
If you want to get ahold of me I'm almost always on Discord.

Can it be force restarted while such migration?
