Hello,

I somehow crashed the server when trying to make/merge a 1(w)x6(h) chest. I was able to make a 6x1 chest without issue right before I tried a 1x6. Log file from the headless server is below as well as a link to the mod settings screenshot. I mainly just want to able to create a 1 or 2 row/column chests by 'N'.

I also have your complementary mod installed: https://mods.factorio.com/mod/WideChestsAllTypes

I don't know how headless servers work. It seems like server doesn't have the wooden merged chests. Is the WideChestsAllTypes mod also enabled on the server?

yes, I have just verfied and that is correct. Server and clients need to synchronize mods and settings before hand or else they can't play together.

any more ideas? like I said in my original post, the creation of a horizontal merged chest worked just fine right before I tried a vertical one. Are the mod settings incorrect for what I tried to do?

update: I just saved the game locally from the server. In single player I tried the vertical chest with wood, iron, and steel this time and got a game end error again (works fine on horizontal, but vertical merging crashes the game): https://imgur.com/a/Kctqxtf

Oh, I have a bug in the mod (fixed in 3.0.7) and you have problem with a mod setting. Like this it will only allow chests up to 2 high ("Maximum chest height" mod setting).

works perfect.

thank you!
