[0.11.18] Map editor hangs if I place alien artifacts in dense formation

[akarnokd]

By using the map editor (64bit), if I place alien artifacts (the pink balls) by holding down the mouse button and "spraying", the game hangs usually when the ball wouldn't fit between existing balls.

Hello, I wasn't able to reproduce it. Does the game freeze or crash? Can you show the log?

[akarnokd]

The game just hangs, doesn't react to keyboard or the mouse anymore. I click on the [X] in windows and the game closes about 5 minutes later. The CPU usage during the hang was ~0%. This is what the log contains:

There needs to be something specific about the way you do it. Can you post pictures or the map where you did that?

I generate a 512x512 map, everything default except enemies are set to poor/none/peaceful. I place 10x10 cells of ore, coal, iron and rock into lines (i.e., 70x10, I set the speed and amount to max). Then I place 6-8 oil patches, all up to ~2500% yield. Then I start to place alien artifacts by holding down the mouse button and moving it around until about half my screen is filled. If I save after placing the oil patches, the game doesn't hang, but if I do everything in a single run without saving, the game hangs 50% of the time and I lose my work.

Think you could make a video of it freezing?

I've tried half a dozen times and couldn't get it hang again, I'm sorry. This thread can be closed.

[bobingabout]

is it possible that your computer could have decided to be busy doing something else when it hung the first time? like, virus scan or something? it's possible that a certain fluke bad combination of processes could have caused one, or several to lock up.

Making it not a bug then.
