[Rseding91] [0.16.7] Crash on save after placing requester chests

[Commandelicious]

Hello,
this one is odd but I reproduced it. The finding out what exactly made it not save was weird.

I was building a belt array as shown in the picture and misplaced boxes, passive provider instead of requester and it saves fine.
After replacing it with requester chest it crashes on save.

As I wrote this I got curious and placed somewhere another requester chest. Same problem.

Clearification: I load into a save, put a requester chest down, it crashes on save.

This is a save file imported from 0.15

I just had another look at the save and tested it.
The logistic network I put the chest in doesn't matter.

Edit: Never mind, it was consistent and now it happens with other stuff (in the last case express underground belts), too
Edit2: After more testing: After about a minute after the save I uploaded, whatever I do: It doesn't save. Tried it with autosave as well.

Thanks for the report. The log file doesn't show any crash in it - are you sure you uploaded the correct file?

[Commandelicious]

I had to kill it with the task manager.
If there is any other log I can dump I will.

The save screen appears and then nothing happens. I tried waiting ten minutes but the green bar wasn't even visible.
If anyone would try open the game save and wait about 5 minutes and try to save then, that might help.

[Commandelicious]

Ok, this might help.

So, it has not technically crashed, I think. You are the professionals.

[Rseding91]

Can you upload the mod(s) you're using as well?

[Commandelicious]

It happens with and without mods but here you go.

[Rseding91]

Do you know if any of the mods you're using change entity forces or teleport entities around?

[Commandelicious]

I am not sure what "change entity forces" means but they 'shouldn't' teleport.

A light mod because youtube
A fix for the biter blood (there shouldn't be any though)
Personal crafting speed increase
Infinite research for Inserter and Robots
Long reach (instead of double reach which I used in 0.15)
And an entity renamer mod

Ah, and I forgot the Powerandarmor mod which gives MK3 and 4 power armor.

But again, if I turn off all mods and load into the game I still have the same problem. I just tried again turning all mods off, loading in and trying to save. (And yeah, I am administrator, even though I wasn't for 195 hours of playtime, just to make sure I tried that )

[Rseding91]

Ok, it's now fixed for the next version of 0.16.

[Commandelicious]

Very cool, thank you very much!

I know why I love you guys and your game.

Cheers!

I'm getting a similar crash on 0.16.9. I was having the game freeze on save ever since I added a logistic network. I have attached the save too. I haven't figured out what next action triggers the saves from failing. Adding more logistic chests seem to do it.

One of the times, it even crashed, so I have a crash dump to attach. This happened when I saved after removing some of the logistic chests.

[Rseding91]

It's most likely this issue (new in 0.16.8/9): viewtopic.php?f=30&t=55863

Let's see if it's the same thing when 0.16.10 is out tomorrow morning.

[Commandelicious]

I am on 0.16.10 now and I still can't save.

Edit: Tried is without mods again, too. Same effect.

[Commandelicious]

I am on 0.16.12 and it seems to work.

Good job

I wish you guys a great 2018 <3
