Bug Report: Crash with Specific Industrial_Prop_Plus Object
Hi!
I'm not a modder, but I know a bit about it, and thanks to that (and a little help from ChatGPT), I was able to find the source of a crash related to Industrial_Prop_Plus
The game crashes instantly as soon as I place a specific object from the mod (see attached screenshot).
By digging through the log files and analyzing the crash report, here is what I found:
EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION reading address 0x0000000000000030 → FactoryGameSteam_FactoryGame_Win64_Shipping!AFGBuildEffectActor::ResolveMaterial()
Apparently, the object tries to trigger a build visual effect (BuildEffect) with a missing material or a null reference, which causes the game to crash.
All the other objects from the mod work perfectly. It’s really only this one that triggers the crash.
Just to let you know, I’m French and I don’t speak English very well, so I might take some time to translate my sentences before answering
I took the liberty of looking into this to save you time debugging blindly.
Thanks a lot for your mod — it’s awesome. And if you ever need me to do another test or provide more info, I’m available. 👍

We need more information to help you. Before launching the game again, open the Mod Manager and use the "Generate debug info" option, then send the zip file produced here in this channel.

ChatGPT and other LLMs are not useful as a resource for writing mods in this community. There are highly specific implementation details that are not widely available in their training data, so their algorithm will not have access to the correct information. Please remember that LLMs are a giant guessing machine that are only as good as what's put in.
Referring to our documentation and asking real people who have actually written mods and/or the tools surrounding them is guaranteed to be the best way to get help.
