The laser tank does not move forward if the "AAI Vehicles laser tank is a hovercraft" option is enabled. When I press W the tank tries to move forward and stops.

With the latest version?
Might need to place it again

Yes I literally today downloaded to try your mod, and immediately encountered this problem, disabled this option and the tank began to drive normally. vehicles and equipment were added to the character's inventory using the console. The “AAI Vehicles laser tank is a hovercraft” option was enabled after installing and enabling the mod.

now it should be fixed

The problem is not fixed, the tank still does not go forward, only backwards, I picked up the tank and placed it and an error window appeared.

82.558 Error MainLoop.cpp:1435: Exception at tick 25264395: Мод Laser Tanks (2.0.7) caused an unrecoverable error.
Please report this bug to the mod author.

This error also appears with the “hovercraft” option disabled

I tried taking everything out of the equipment grid, and placing the tank, but the error still appears.
The laser car is working fine.

The the error should be fixed now
Can you try immediately turning when you accelerate? that was a trick that helped with the old version.
Otherwise you can try using some exoskeletons

The tank is placed without problems. But it does not move forward, I tried holding W and turning (AD), but the tank stands still and twitches.

I remember one mod, where the tank also didn't move until you started turning, but that's not the case now.

weird, then i'm out of ideas.
the only chance i have to fix it then is if you could send me your savegame so i can sync to your mods and settings
you can upload it somewhere or attach it on a private message on the forum:

The problem is that I don't have a simple save, I'm playing the Story-Missions mod: https://mods.factorio.com/mod/Story-Missions. I don't really need the “hovercraft” option and I disable it. Just thought I'd let you know that I've encountered this problem.

your savegame should still work, even if it is some scenario save

I tried to create a new world, and the problem with the tank remained, now I will try to disable all mods, and leave only your mod.

The problem remained even in a new game without all mods except yours and AAI laser tank

I don't know if there is any point in sharing a save that only has your mod and AAI laser tank.

thank you so much, i tried the same and ran into the same issue. now i can fix it

found the issue, thanks again

You're welcome and thank you too :)
