[0.12.0] Beacon effects not applied in migrated savegames

Post by Khyron »

When updating a save game from 0.11.20 to 0.12.0, the effects of exiting beacons are not applied.
Remove and replace the beacon and its effects are applied correctly.

Do you have the save pre 0.12?

Really?
I was playing today when I realized that a beacon I placed wasn't affecting an oil drill. I replaced the beacon and its modules but it still doesn't work... :(

You can see that while the drill states that it has two effects being applied on it (from the modules in the beacon) it doesn't add the speed bonus...
No, I'm not a piece of cheese! :D

Do you have a save game? When I try it they're always showing and working correctly.

I just checked my 0.11 save and it worked fine for my smelting. I couldnt check for pumpjacks since i didnt put beacons on them yet. It might be specific error caused by mixture of mods. My electric grid wasnt working at all on migration from 0.11 to 0.12 untill i waited for all robports to discharge and start recharing.

When i take modules out of a beacon, and put new ones inside it doesnt transmit the effect. I have to remove the beacon and put it again. It repeats each you remove old modules from beacon and put new ones.
