Hello, I've been wanting to add your mod to my mod pack, but it seems that there is an error loading mods when the mod "Smart Inserters" ( https://mods.factorio.com/mod/Smart_Inserters ) is in the pack, the pack loads with either Ribbonia or Smart Inserters removed, but does not run with both. (All dependencies run fine with Smart Inserters, the error just happens when both mods are loaded.)

I've encounted this error in both 2.0 and 2.1 versions.

The error message is as follows:

Failed to load mods:ribbonia/compat-final-fixes.lua:113: attempt to index field 'RTThrower-steam-inserter-item' (a nil value)
stack traceback:
ribbonia/compat-final-fixes.lua:113: in main chunk
[C]: in function 'require'
ribbonia/data-final-fixes.lua:5: in main chunk

Hopefully this is an easy and quick fix so I can impliment the mod into my pack soon!

Hey there,

judging by the error this is with Lignumis installed? Thanks for the report.

Yes we also have Lignumis installed.

The combination of Ribbonia, Lignumis and Smart inserters doesn't cause any issues on my end, can you think of any other mod that might change or remove certain inserters? If not please share your modlist.

I've added an additional sanity check to the newest 2.1 version (6.7) that will prevent your specific error but I'd need to see your mod setup to fully fix it.

After the update the mods/pack seems to load fine, but it seems the error is replicated if Smart Inserter's "disable inserter energy consumption" config is enabled. (as I had it enabled prior in the pack(s).)

The error I recieved this time (with the above config enabled) is that "RTThrower-bulk-inserter-item" does not exist, with the source being labeled as "PrimerThrowerTech (technology)"

the mods it wants to disable (and likely are related to the crash) are:
- Renai Transporation
- Lignumis
- Ribbonia
- and Science Spread https://mods.factorio.com/mod/science-spread

Again, the game seems to run fine with that config turned off (which my players and myself wanting to keep it on if possible of course)

Also Science Spread is installed because we have The Outer Rim ( https://mods.factorio.com/mod/outer-rim ) in our pack as well, if that helps narrow down the issue if it's not just Lignumis+Ribbonia+Smart Inserters with inserter power consumption turned off combo.

Did a test with just Lignumis, Ribbonia, Smart Inserters, and that config enabled, and got the same error, I think it's something to do with the inserter energy requirement removal tweaking the name/id with a replacement that Ribbonia isn't looking for, or what not.

Using just Renai and Smart Inserters with that config enabled, disables all thrower inserters.

I'm not aware if this is wanted or a bug on smart inserters side. Possibly it's just Renai sanity checking for energy consumption before creating thrower variants.

Either way I am adding additional sanity checks to prevent this crash in the next update but just be aware that Renai without thrower inserters is fundamentally silly. This might be worth a report to the authors of either mod.

EDIT: 0.6.8 is out now
