⚠️ SearchlightAssault ⚠️


Adds a game map and searchlights which sweep for foes at great range, alerting you while directing adjacent turrets to snipe spotted foes. Designed to dovetail with the early-mid game, searchlights provide: - Circuit network interfaces for search & detection I/O - Incentive to automate lamp & combinator production in the early game - New tactics to assault biter bases without leap-frogging turrets!

b Crash on surface clear - Blueprint Sandboxes

1 year, 11 months ago

This is relevant to the Blueprint Sandboxes mod (https://mods.factorio.com/mod/blueprint-sandboxes)

Steps to reproduce:
1) Blueprint Sandboxes >= 1.6.0
1) Place a searchlight inside a blueprint sandbox surface
2) Clear the surface without removing the searchlight manually

I've encountered a similar problem before with the Stack Combinators mod, relevant thread:

Thanks for your report, I should be able to put out a fix soon.

I have released version 2.1.2 which should fix this issue.

I wasn't able to replicate the issue with your steps here, but trying to cause it with the save-load cycling you mentioned in the other thread did.
This behavior is very strange, so if you see any further problems please let me know.

The new version should start to appear in the mod portal shortly.
If you don't see it in-game you can download it manually here: https://mods.factorio.com/mod/SearchlightAssault/downloads
