This does not occur on a new game, but when loading an existing save with transport drones in use factorio crashes back to the main menu.

276.176 Error AppManagerStates.cpp:1448: The mod Transport Drones (0.7.9) caused a non-recoverable error.
Please report this error to the mod author.

I am getting this error as well. Save file.

Edit: accidentally overwrote the save file, so it no longer has TD as part of the save. However, re-adding TD to it will still cause the crash.

Getting this as well.

me too

Same same

Game crashes for me too

Hmm, me too.

I'm able to start a new game just fine, and I can load this newly started save that I just created. Loading my prior save before the recent game update however does not work.

Edit: Never mind, that newer save I just started about an hour or two ago stopped working. I guess once you get far enough into the save it just doesn't work with the mod anymore.

one more for the pile!

Reverting to 0.18.36 works fine..

Same https://yadi.sk/i/wN-ZNH523CoCRA

when will you fix it?

Did a little debugging. There's a new tile added in 0.18.37 called tile-unknown - likely used by the new blueprinting system to handle modded tiles in blueprints that do not currently exists (due to mod removal). This tile does not have a collision mask, yet all other tiles do. Transport Drones expects it to have one, and is crashing when trying to get the table size of the non-existant table.

This fix works on my end:

Unzip the mod into \mods\Transport_Drones_0.7.9\
in .\script\road_network.lua in the get_tiles function on line 523, add "if tile_mask ~= nil then" after "local tile_mask = tile.collision_mask" then add "end" before "return tiles".

This handles all tiles without collision masks (currently only the new one) and safely allows save game load.

Here's a pastebin snipped of the whole fixed function: https://pastebin.com/rCBCEpzH

Work for me, thanks a lot !

Had the same issue and I to was able to make that fix and it seems to be working so far. Haven't checked that section of base yet, but I was able to at least open the file now.

Found the problem, you forgot the comma at the end of line 772. Cheers

I can't see anywhere in transport_drone.lua anywhere near line 772 where there should be a comma. Can you show me the fix?

That was the best changelog, btw. XD Nice work @klonan

Just go to the end of the line 772 and add a comma
