[0.12.29] [kovarex] Crash when using empty subgroup string ("") for item

[ridinginstyle00]

I posted into another forum earlier today about my mod not working and after some work we think we got the mod to work but it crashes the game about 10 seconds after its launched stuck saying

Loading Mods 2%

below i will attach the latest log and the file for my mod itself so you guys can take a look at it.

i was recommended to ask the devs in the bug report section to take a look at the log to see whats causing the crash!

Thx for any help in advance!

Really looking forward to getting my first mod running right.

Its simply a solar panel that produces 6 billion kw

just a little boost for that power i always need.

Recommended to reduce the energy production...put it to 6kw (less than the vanilla) and it still crashed.

Any ideas?

anyone got any good or bad news to give me?

I also have other mods in factorio so....if you want those just ask and i'll upload them

I answered you on the other topic I think give it a look, it might be just that.

i posted on the other forum if you wanna take a look.

Found it: Seems like Factorio doesn't like an empty subgroup in the item definition (subgroup="")
Removing the line completely or making "energy" the subgroup loads it fine (after fixing the wrong paths to the solar panel graphics )

So bug report should be: No error message with "" as subgroup. Attached is the fixed version.
