Thanks for your report!

I just tried reproducing this but it seems ok with the mods I happen to have. Is there any chance you can send me your save file?

Sure, where can I send it?

Update I can replicate the error Ill take a vid for you.

It's weird, I can pick up the spot lights and place them back down in the same place and pick them up again with no issue. It's when I pick them up and place them down around a fresh turret that causes the crash.

Most people just send google drive links, you get plenty of free storage with any account.

That's a good clip, but I can't reproduce the issue on my end with just the mods I happen to have.
it looks like you've got a bunch of mods. I'd be interested in your save file because it'll make it easy to download the same mods & mod settings you use so I can address the root cause.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1gn9dm4hfMvZT_DjydCwXOWjmF-VA3Xw2/view?usp=sharing This should be the most up to date save I have, the only mod I can think of off the top of my head that might be causing an issue is the turret increase range mod?

Thanks, this is a huge help!
Looks like you're right on the money, that turret increase range mod has a readme which says that it may invalidate turret references when it upgrades a turret, and I can confirm that this is happening every time a turret is placed in your save.

The readme file says the mod supplies an interface for handling this, but it's of little use to me. I've made a request with the mod author to raise the appropriate event.
In the meanwhile, I'd recommend against using that mod with any technically complicated turret mods like SearchlightAssault or Water Turret.

Awesome! Yeah Im mid play through on this for my stream but Ill look into maybe disabling the turret range extender mod to use yours, it's really fun and immersive thanks for your help!

Thanks for the compliment, I love to hear it! Hopefully both mods can play together nicely soon

Hmm new issue: I uninstalled the turret range mod and reinstalled your mod and now when I try and place down your searchlights the item just disappears and the item leaves my inventory. No error just Poof like the item never existed. Starting to think my game is haunted lol

Did you check the box for mod settings in my mod for "Uninstall"?

You might need to uncheck it

Oh I didn't see that was a thing I guess I need to reinstall and then click uninstall and then reinstall?

You'd just need to uncheck it if it was checked :)
