[2.0.72] Crash when atomic bomb spoils inside spidertron
Posted: Mon Nov 24, 2025 11:56 pm
What did I do: Started a game with https://mods.factorio.com/mod/everything-spoilage enabled on Random mode. Low-tier items spoiled into a spidertron and nukes. Put nukes inside spidertron, all worked fine for seven minutes until a consistent and repeatable crash, regardless of what I the player was or was not doing at the time.
What happened: By chance, I happened to notice that this crash happened around the same time as the nukes inside the spidertron were set to spoil. Used the debug option to show game tick, found crash happened consistently at tick 813790, exactly when nuke spoilage timer hit zero. Loaded a save from about two minutes prior to crash, removed nukes from spidertron, game was able to pass tick 813790 without issue.
What I expected to happen instead: Not crash the game. Other weapons and ammunition are able to spoil while equipped on the *player character* without issue (the attached save has the character armed with an empty barrel), and I would expect the same to happen for the spidertron. I have not tested with other vehicles.
Does it happen always, once, or sometimes: Every time, at precisely that tick, but only when the spidertron has equipped the nukes. Removing them from the ammo slots prior to spoilage avoids the crash.
Attached is the log file, save game, and screenshots showing installed mods, mod settings for Everything Spoilage, a screenshot of the crash with nukes equipped, and a screenshot of the game progressing past tick 813790 without nukes equipped in the spidertron.
