/c local f=game.player.surface local p=game.player.position f.set_tiles{ {name="out-of-map",position={p.x,p.y+1}} }



Why does this kill the player?
You can clearly see i'm standing in a valid position.

If you turn on show-collision-rectangles and show-tile-grid you'll see that you're actually standing on the out-of-map tiles. So, when you call set_tiles the player collides with the out-of-map tiles and he gets killed as part of "remove entities that collide with the set tile".

I don't have a nice solution to this because player collision is different than everything else in that: the player can walk partially on tiles it collides with.

I'll let Posila know- I think he was the one who worked on the player walking logic so he might have some idea about if it's possible to address this.

This also happens with waterfill mods. When you waterfill "below" the player you drown.
