[0.17.9] I can't get the speakers to work! [SOLVED]

Post by fat_jesus »

I have searched for a solution both here and on Reddit, so either I am a idiot or there is something funky about the speakers. (Properly the first)

The speakers should play a sound, when the total amount of coal in the chest = 0. But there is no sound and no coal in that chest.
The light function fine, when I set the the total amount of coal in the chest = 0.

I tried disabling my sound-related mods - still the same.
I've also tried unmuting everyone in the console - to no avail.

What am I doing wrong? :D

Thanks!

EDIT: I tried disabling/enabling each individual mod - the speakers work, when I disable Electric Furnaces (https://mods.factorio.com/mod/Electric%20Furnaces) weirdly enough.

That's... really weird. Can you post your full mod list? I did a quick test on a sandbox map and it worked with Electric Furnaces enabled.

Extremely weird. It were the last mod I disabled, since it seemed so unlikely.

And thanks for the quick response!

EDIT:
I tried in sandbox again. It seems my speakers only work, when I disable the mod on my main save. But they work in sandbox, even when the mod are enabled.

Could it be possible something is corrupt on my save?

Maybe dumb question: is the speaker powered in the save in which it doesn't work?

I mean do you have enough power to the speaker? Might the speaker be working when you disable Electric Furnaces because that reduces your power draw? A quick sandbox test shows that the speaker stops working when it has <50% power.

I didn't even know that was a feature. It works now and I am extremely sorry for wasting your time!
