Troubleshooting Guide for Operator’s Edge
If you encounter any issues while using Operator’s Edge, try the following steps to resolve them:
Save Game Loading Errors / Crashes
This can happen if you update the mod and the new version changes global data structures.
Solution:
Make sure to update your mod to the latest version carefully.
If you get errors on loading a save, try these steps:
Backup your save file before proceeding.
Temporarily disable Operator’s Edge mod and load your save. This can remove problematic global data.
Save the game again without the mod enabled.
Re-enable Operator’s Edge and load the save. The mod should reinitialize data cleanly.
Commands or GUI Not Working / Errors about Duplicates
This may happen if commands are registered multiple times due to mod reloads or updates.
Solution:
Restart Factorio completely before launching your save to avoid stale command registrations.
Ensure you’re using the latest mod version, which includes fixes for duplicate command registration.
If problems persist, try the save reload workaround described above.
Auto-Pickup or Other Features Not Working
Check that your mod settings are properly configured in the startup settings menu.
Auto-pickup can be toggled in-game via the hotkey configured in Controls > Mod > Operator’s Edge.
Verify that your character is alive and not in spectator mode.
Mod Settings Changes Not Applying
Some settings are startup-only and require restarting the game and reloading your save after changing.
Make sure to change mod settings before starting or loading your save.
Unexpected Behavior After Updates
If new features cause issues, try:
Updating your save as per the migration instructions (reload without mod then with mod).
Reporting issues with your save and mod version details on the mod portal’s discussion page.
