Factorio Forums

I'm trying to get content and quantity of items on belt with following command:
while hovering the cursor over belt with content. According to docs, return value should be in form of dictionary string → uint
but I'm getting following error:
"4" seems to be quantity of items, but I was expecting something like Is there a bug in this command, or am I just using it wrong?
I'm running Factorio 0.16.51 (build 36654, linux64, alpha) with Bob's mods and some QoL mods, but it keeps happening on every item on belt. If you think it might be bug, not misusing, I'm happy to provide log file with modlist.

Please post your full code. The line you included works fine.

It works perfectly fine for me:

If you are printing the raw
value in the console, the game will parse it like a localised string which gives that error. You need to use something to format the table, like serpent.block in the code posted by DaveMcW.

Yes, the problem was with formatting the output. Now it works as expected.

Thank you for the support.
