[2.0.60] Crash loading save after changing a mod startup setting (GameView::openTechnologyGUI)

Post by aRighteousGod »

Hello a user of Exotic Space Industries: Remembrance reports an issue @ https://mods.factorio.com/mod/exotic-sp ... 20a7da1ffd where consistency check fails with an error after changing a startup setting since updating to mod version 1.2.41.

It's looking at this table and setting—


Pre 1.2.41—
{
name = "ei-tech-scaling-maxCost",
type = "string-setting",
setting_type = "startup",
default_value = "Default",
allowed_values = {"Sunday stroll", "Walk in the park", "Almost free","Very Cheap", "More Cheap", "Cheap", "Default", "Less Expensive","Expensive", "Very Expensive"},
order = "a1",
},
ei_data.tech_scaling.switch_table = {
["Sunday stroll"] = 207,
["Walk in the park"] = 415,
["Almost free"] = 831,
["Very Cheap"] = 1662,
["More Cheap"] = 3325,
["Cheap"] = 6750,
["Default"] = 12500,
["Less Expensive"] = 25000,
["Expensive"] = 50000,
["Very Expensive"] = 100000
}


1.2.41—
{
name = "ei-tech-scaling-maxCost",
type = "string-setting",
setting_type = "startup",
default_value = "Default",
allowed_values = {"Sunday stroll", "Walk in the park", "Almost free","Very Cheap","Default", "More Cheap", "Cheap", "Fairly priced","Less Expensive","Expensive", "Very Expensive"},
order = "a1",
},
ei_data.tech_scaling.switch_table = {
["Sunday stroll"] = 207,
["Walk in the park"] = 415,
["Almost free"] = 831,
["Very Cheap"] = 1662,
["Default"] = 2500,
["More Cheap"] = 3325,
["Cheap"] = 6750,
["Fairly priced"] = 12500,
["Less Expensive"] = 25000,
["Expensive"] = 50000,
["Very Expensive"] = 100000
}

Not personally sure how to solve this error or if it is solvable from this end.

Report in above linked mod portal post below here—

I updated to version 1.2.41.
I changed "Technology cost scaling ceiling" setting to "Default" from "More Cheap",
then failed game start.
At Consistency Check, following popup dialog is shown.

But I can start the game by restoring the setting (More Cheap).

Thanks for the report. This is now fixed for the next release.
If you want to get ahold of me I'm almost always on Discord.
