I have the following prototype in the mods directory:

local recipe = table.deepcopy(data.raw.recipe["rail"])
recipe.enabled = true
recipe.name = "tram-rail"
recipe.ingredients = {{"iron-plate",1}}
recipe.result = "tram-rail"

local tramRail = table.deepcopy(data.raw["rail-planner"]["rail"])
tramRail.name = "tram-rail"
tramRail.straight_rail = "tram-rail-straight"

local tramRailStraight = table.deepcopy(data.raw["straight-rail"]["straight-rail"])
tramRailStraight.name = "tram-rail-straight"
tramRailStraight.order = "a"

data:extend{tramRail,recipe,tramRailStraight}

The entity tramRailStraight is incorrectly assigned an order. After crafting a tram-rail and placing it down in any new world, using the rail planner to extend the track will crash the game immediately.

Thanks for the report. It's now fixed for the next release.

The issue is the game never checked that what mods defined for straight_rail and curved_rail on the rail-planner item type are built by that rail-planner item.

Specifically, if a rail-planner has "straight_rail" set to an entity, that entities first item-to-build-this must be that rail planner. Same for "curved_rail". In the mod, it's nothing; there is no item-to-place for the curved rail and so it crashes.

Neat, thanks for the fix

Specifically, the fix checks that the lua definitions are correct and will provide an error message stating what's wrong if they aren't.
