[0.15.32] Incredibly unhelpful error message

Post by Bilka »

When trying to set the technology_difficutly or the recipe_difficulty to a number other than 0 or 1 the error message will be incredibly unhelpful:Image

Setting to 1.5 or 0.5 doesn't give an error and sets to 1 and 0 respectively.

When setting the value in control.lua, the error message will also not show which function or line the error is in, only the event is shown, and that also has no line:

I was also under assumption that the difficulty could only be set using the http://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/defi ... y_settings , and not using 0 and 1.
I'm an admin over at https://wiki.factorio.com. Feel free to contact me if there's anything wrong (or right) with it.

Thanks for the report. The error message will be fixed in next release.

Values of those defines are just numbers.
