[0.11.21] Trying to research when game isn't initialised

[vedrit]

I updated from 11.19 to 11.21 and tried to load up a save, when it throws the following error:
__tankwerkz__/control.lua:5: Trying to research technology when the game isn't even initialized. (Wrong script usage)

The script:

Code: Select all

for index, force in pairs(game.forces) do
  if force.technologies["tanks"].researched then
    force.recipes["ex-cannon-shell"].enabled = true
    force.recipes["light-tank"].enabled=true
    force.technologies["light-tanks"].researched=true  <-- Line 5
    force.resettechnologies()
  end
end

Has the reason for this script changed since 11.19? As far as I can tell, it just checks for technologies to be researched to enable tech added by the mod

Moved, but i'm not sure this is a real bug :-)

It's not - Kovarex specifically added that check in to prevent other issues. Research unlocks should be done in migration scripts and not in the raw control.lua file.

Exactly.
Problem of the mod.

i'm making a mod to insert a tech into the tree and i am running the same script in my migration file and it throws the same error

You need to update your game. That error doesn't even exist in the source code as of 0.15.
