Sunken Sea Crash

[obsidian siren]

I narrowed it down to being the lab, where, immediately when I bring it into view, my game crashes. From google searches, this seems to be an old bug. Is there any way to fix it?

[sick nexus]

Is your mod up to date?

[fickle tendon]

I remember this having something to do with falling sand or cactus

I fixed mine but I forgot how
maybe I just didn't bother with that world
maybe it just fixed itself

[obsidian siren]

It sounds like falling sand right before it crashes!

[obsidian siren]

Checking one second

[fickle tendon]

Ahh yeah it must be falling sand

[obsidian siren]

it looks like it!

[sick nexus]

Is it above a chest or anything if the sort

[obsidian siren]

i'll get a screenshot one second

This is exactly as close as I can get without crashing

you can see it right in the bottom

Please send your log files after the crash, this was caused by rolling cactus spawning inside of the lab blocks iirc. You can either use the sunken sea in another world, use heros mod map teleport to see if the cactus can be broken before crashing, or you could try deleting the cactus with Tedit, but make a backup before you do as Tedit can cause issues with modded content.

You could also send the world files and I could mess around with them, but logs are always required.

[obsidian siren]

Okay, I'm not home right now but when I get home I'll get you the logs and files

[obsidian siren]

I can send logs but they dont show anything

[strong spoke]

I don't see much either, you could try the possible solutions I listed, or send the wld file and I could see if I can find a possible fix.

[obsidian siren]

I'll try on my own, but if it doesnt work how would you like me to send the file?

[strong spoke]

in this channel should be fine, if thats too big then idk

[obsidian siren]

okay give me a bit :D

you just need the .wld file right?

[strong spoke]

and the .twld file

[obsidian siren]

I tried filling in where the turrets spawn in tedit... didnt work

[obsidian siren]

here you go but take your time obviously im in no rush :D

[strong spoke]

Alright, I've confirmed a few things:

1. This is caused by rolling cactus inside of lab blocks as suspected before (more specifically the turrets spawning on top of the blocks that overrode the cactus)
2. It does not crash in multiplayer unless you try to break the cactus or the turret on top of it

so for now, even though it's annoying I would just go in multiplayer every time you need something from the lab

[obsidian siren]

Oh really?! Thats a weird fix :P

But thank you so much

@rotund wadi Some new info on the sunken sea lab + rolling cactus crashes, if you wouldn't mind adding it to the known bugs list, as it doesn't look like it got added when channels switched.

Iirc the bug is fixed for next patch with the worldgen getting overhauled completely
