Swarmageddon Error

Post by bobbugblaster »

I was really glad to see it updated to v2. However over time this error became more common.

The mod Swarmageddon - Enhanced Biter Swarms 2.0 (2.0.1) caused a non-recoverable error.
Please report this error to the mod author.

Error while running event swarmageddon_20::on_entity_died (ID 4)
__swarmageddon_20__/control.lua:85: bad argument #1 of 3 to 'insert' (table expected, got nil)
stack traceback:
[C]: in function 'insert'
__swarmageddon_20__/control.lua:85: in function <__swarmageddon_20__/control.lua:80>

I have no idea how to report it to the creator Paws (v2 by Fabz)

There's a discussion board on the mod page you can post in: https://mods.factorio.com/mod/swarmaged ... discussion

By default, mod authors get notifications sent to their email when a new thread is posted. At least in my experience.

That was one of the first things I looked at. But the option to make a post/thread is grey out/not useable. Otherwise I would have put this there.

Definitely not for me, I checked before I posted. Make sure you're logged into the mod site - it uses a different login from the forums so just because you're logged in here doesn't mean you are there.

sorry for the MIA. But unfortunately the error persists and still can not put a post on their mod.

I was able to reproduce the error. I think if you leave the mod settings default you won't get this error. I left a post on the mod page.

Thank you very much. Testing default settings and seems to be doing alright.
Adding a image of the settings I had that caused the error.
