  16.869 Error ModManager.cpp:1332: Error while loading entity prototype "boiler-MS-2" (boiler): Invalid pipe connections specification for offset {-2.0000000000, -1.0000000000}. The offset must be outside of the entity bounding-box

Doing a data-final-fixes serpentblock of an entity with two incompatible mods as optional dependencies of a third:

Code: Select all

  collision_box = {
    {
      -1.3599999999999999,
      -0.85999999999999996,
      x = -1.3599999999999999,
      y = -0.85999999999999996
    },
    {
      1.3599999999999999,
      0.85999999999999996,
      x = 1.3599999999999999,
      y = 0.85999999999999996
    }
  },

Pipe:

Code: Select all

      {
        position = {
          -2,
          -1,
          x = -2,
          y = -1
        },
        type = "input-output"
      },

Code: Select all

  selection_box = {
    {
      -1.5,
      -1,
      x = -1.5,
      y = -1
    },
    {
      1.5,
      1,
      x = 1.5,
      y = 1
    }
  },

|-2| > |-1.4| and |-1| > |-.86|. Is there a minimum outside offset?

Can you post the mod(s), please?

(Problem is actually the first pipe connection defined, not the one that it says is the problem)

These two mods should be enough, hopefully. They're edited from the originals because the originals have unpatched bugs.

Edit: didn't change the info for nanotorio. Using those zips directly will cause an error, if you haven't seen it already.

This can be moved to "not a bug". I found nanotorio is incorrectly scaling collision boxes, which puts the correct pipe placement outside of the entity in a bad spot, (a diagonal). Rseding pointed out where the error message came from, which made the issue clear.
