This crash happens when using the mod Compact circuits (https://mods.factorio.com/mod/compaktcircuit)
Not sure which mod actually causes the issue though.

The mod Preconfigure Placement (0.0.6) caused a non-recoverable error.
Please report this error to the mod author.

Error while running event preconfigure-placement::on_built_entity (ID 6)
The mod Compakt circuits (2.0.26) caused a non-recoverable error.
Please report this error to the mod author.

Error while running event compaktcircuit::on_entity_settings_pasted (ID 39)
compaktcircuit/scripts/processor.lua:1030: attempt to index local 'src' (a nil value)
stack traceback:
compaktcircuit/scripts/processor.lua:1030: in function 'handler'

stack traceback:
[C]: in function 'copy_settings'
preconfigure-placement/control.lua:239: in function <preconfigure-placement/control.lua:201>

Steps to reproduce:
1. grab an entity and place using MMB.
2. Configure whatever you want.
3. Now try placing a second entity with the pipetted configuration.
4. Crash.

I think that's a problem with the other mod, mainly because of this line:

compaktcircuit/scripts/processor.lua:1030: attempt to index local 'src' (a nil value)

What's happening is Preconfigure Placement is pasting settings on the entity you just built, and Compact circuits has an event handler for when settings are pasted. If I had to guess without looking at the code, I'd assume they didn't handle the case of a script pasting the settings instead of a player, which is easy to miss.

Thanks for the reply. In that case I have reported it to the other mod's page.
