could you fix it?

hey, found a solution. looking forward this will get implemented by admin.

jsut unzip the file into same directory. make sure, not the same named sub directory is inside the extracted folder.

then edit config.lua file with text editor. i prefer using Notepad++.

Insert the following and save. Working in Sandbox mode now.

script.on_event(defines.events.on_player_created, function(event)

local items
local armor

items = {
    {"modular-armor", 1},
    {"construction-robot", 20},
}
armor = {
    {"personal-roboport-equipment"},
    {"personal-roboport-equipment"},
    {"battery-equipment"},
    {"solar-panel-equipment"},
    {"solar-panel-equipment"},
    {"solar-panel-equipment"},
    {"solar-panel-equipment"},
    {"solar-panel-equipment"},
    {"solar-panel-equipment"},
    {"solar-panel-equipment"},
    {"solar-panel-equipment"},
    {"solar-panel-equipment"},
    {"solar-panel-equipment"},
    {"solar-panel-equipment"},
    {"solar-panel-equipment"},
    {"solar-panel-equipment"},
    {"solar-panel-equipment"},
    {"solar-panel-equipment"},
}

local player = game.players[event.player_index]

-- game.print(player.controller_type)
if defines.controllers.god == player.controller_type then -- Check Player Controller Type for GOD mode -> no Inventory, else crashes
    return
end
if defines.controllers.ghost == player.controller_type then
    return
end

for i, v in pairs(items) do
    player.insert{name = v[1], count = v[2]}
end
local grid = player.get_inventory(defines.inventory.player_armor)[1].grid
for  i, v in pairs(armor) do
    grid.put({name = v[1]})
end

end)

Sorry, I didn't see this report. I applied your patch SirWayNe.
