Factorio Forums

So I was finally able to update from 12.35(I think) to 13.19 and when I went to start up an old game all i could see was this:

no matter what i do I cannot remove it. (Also if this has been addressed in another topic can someone point me in the right direction?)

run this in console

/c for _, gui in pairs(game.player.gui.center.children_names) do game.player.gui.center[gui].destroy() end

You need to report that to mod author.
NaB.

The game is meant to remove any associated mod GUI when a mod is removed.

Do you have a way to reproduce this with a minimal save file? Preferably one limited to 50x50?

That looks to be the Advanced Logistics System mod. I've noticed this as well with a few mods and generally it *is* the mods fault.

Save the game with the mod's window open, update the mod, loaded the saved game. Boom ugly unclosable window in the center of the screen. Most mod authors properly fix their top and left windows but never seem to mess with the center windows assuming those are closed when they change stuff in an mod update, I'm guilty of this myself. Especially the updates where they rewrite the mod for a "major" factorio update (0.12 -> 0.13 -> 0.14). :/

[edit]
I haven't tested this issue when a mod is marked disabled but not, yet, removed from Factorio.

So when you deactivate the mod, does the window disappear?

Move this to fixed. It was fixed in 0.14.4.

I say dup because this was posted on Aug 27 while the dup was sept 05.
It was the dup that got marked as fixed. :/
