[0.17.46] invalid data error not handled nicely

[Muppet9010]

The mod Big Monsters version 0.17.15 does something in the data stage that the game doesn't like. However the error isn't caught in a nice way like most, identifying the specific mod(s) that touched the data entry, with the buttons to disable mods, restart, etc. Rather in a simple error message box and log entry.

Code: Select all

Error Util.cpp:83: Specifying multiple group flags is invalid: "icon", "low-object"

The mod was valid in 0.45, but not in 0.46. Although I can't see anything in 0.17.46 change notes to explain the apparent change in data requirement.
I've reported it to the mod author separately. https://mods.factorio.com/mod/Big-Monst ... 000dc56101


To reproduce:

• Download version 0.17.15 of the mod from portal
• No modified mod settings are required
• Start Factorio and error

I am having this issue as well, both the crash itself, from a completely unknown source, and the incorrect output form.

I am especially confused since the string "low-object" appears to not even exist anywhere in any of my mods:



Nor, for that matter, in the code of BigMonsters, the mod erroring above:
