Weird message in game. Should I be worried?

Post by sillyfly »

I was just playing my game, when I got this message in game:

"Can't save map, entity list of entities staged for updates of links is not empty"

I was not doing anything special at the time, and the game seemed to go on fine. Saving also worked without a problem.
But is it something I should be worried about? Will my game become corrupted?

Searching for this string comes up with two threads about errors in mods, but I have no mods installed.

Thanks.

This usually happens when the game triggers an autosave during chunk generation. You can often see it happen in sandbox when you try to explore a little too much and then quickly save. It's not a corruption, though, so you should be able to continue playing without trouble.

Moving to bug reports. Could you please provide us with the save (shortly before that happened)?
I have no idea what I'm talking about.

I'm sorry, I don't have a save from when this happened. I didn't think to save the latest autosave, as the game seemed to go on working fine.

I can provide you with the latest save I have of this same game, although I've played a few more hours since it happened. will that be of any help?
If it happens again I'll make sure to copy the autosave and upload it.
