b [FIXED] Crash with Py

1 year, 10 months ago

Getting a similar crash to others - I am using the Py suite of mods. You can reproduce by sticking a Natural Gas derrick and doing the initial pumping (no resources yet). Once the initial pump is completed to get a resource, your mod crashes.

The mod VortiK's Deep core mining (2.10.2) caused a non-recoverable error.
Please report this error to the mod author.

Error while running event vtk-deep-core-mining::on_resource_depleted (ID 27)

Could you please post me your save game on a file sharing service so I can reproduce the problem ?

VortiK - just a subtle note - the most recent confirmation wasn't from the OP.

Sorry, I don't know how to upload the file(My location is CN)

but it should be related to PYcoalprocessing, and there is no distribution option for deep cracks in the resource settings during game preset
I think it's possible that the resource points of the fractures overlap with those of the oil wells

Still in 2.11.1 - I used a tar pit but is the same mechanic and the same bug. sandbox save file https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/8ljpixhbqk2pjfndfatdq/pY-sandbox1b.zip?rlkey=9poor9dqje1bmukxessv8y1rs&st=ekhs7pqe&dl=0 use a pipe (in inventory) to connect the infinity pipe to the type-1 input. it will instantly crash when the '1' drops to 0. Needs Vortik DMC, and pY petrol handling (https://mods.factorio.com/mod/pypetroleumhandling) and associated required mods for pY. You can install the full suite by installing pyanodon alternative energy mod. I am playing the full suite. proper behavior (disable Vortik and reload) the bitumen seep is replaced by a tar pit. The building on top of the seep does not change. adding some sort of blacklist and ignoring the seeps would/should (?) fix the bug.
