g Belt Conversion Tool Not Working

25 days ago

At times, it looks like the highlighter tool will not convert anything at all, be it large swathes of belt or singular ones. This is also the same for the unconversion tool.

Most of my base has already upgraded to the modded belt, but any new belts, due to the inability to convert them again (i was having this problem in the past as well), there are still some sparse, more recent belts which are still vanilla.

TLDR: conversion tools aren't always working for regular belts, splitters, and undergrounds. It isn't doing the filter resetting but either, it looks like it isn't trying to convert at all. belts are highlighted but will not convert.

Hi, is this problem appeared before last update? Is there any logs or game just dint do anything? What mods are you using?

I've tested tools in different situations: low count of belts and high count of belts, different qualities singular or bulk selection, but everything seems fine. Maybe you can tell me steps to reproduce this bug? Also only conversion tool not working? Did you try to convert unconverted by tool belts in inventory?

Hi there! update 0.1.8 rolled out. Now you can toggle option to show/hide debug messages about how many entities were converted/unconverted. Try to use these to if conversion even happening. Also I fixed a bug with splitters, they will keep their filters and priorities now.

For the sake of testing, I removed every mod I have besides belt quality, and it looks like the bug is persisting. I am currently highlighting unconverted belts and receiving "Converted 0 entities." and when I use the unconvert tool on converted belts, I am receiving "Un-converted 0 entities."

I get these same results when dragging it over my whole base. This is the case for standard quality, uncommon, rare, and (what I've been using this run) legendary at the very least. I will now restart my pc and keep troubleshooting to see if I can find how to fix it (at least for me, but hopefully it can translate to the code) and I will tell you if I find out how

Restarting PC and Factorio (obviously) did not work.

Multiple restarts of Factorio did not work.

Disabling mod, loading world (which deletes all mod entities), re-enabling mod, and loading back in DID work, but is likely not going to be a good solution
In this world, conversion and unconversion tool are working properly and reporting correct numbers back
Unsure if intentional, but picked up Belt Quality belts convert back to vanilla quality belts. This was the case in the bugged world as well

Reloading into an unchanged world with bug did not work, even after disabling.

Conversion Toggle button is not having a difference, nor is it properly converting belts in my inventory when the inventory is updated

Edit: Loading back into working world after a while of messing around in non-working, working world is no longer converting.

More testing on "working world"

Gotten through using bugged world, disabling mod, re-entering bugged world and saving, re-enabling mod, and reloading into world

Conversion tools working properly, except I just now realized that conversion tool is deleting the items on converted belts

Picked up belts are for some reason the modded ones now, meaning that logistics bots are handing me thousands of belts, which is a bit funny (user-side error, can just select modded belts)

Loaded into bugged world, tested something, reloaded back into unbugged world, and the conversion tool no longer works on that world either
