[2.0.58] Crash with surface.find_entities_filtered radius infinite

[Theis]

What happened

Factorio crashes on <surface>.find_entities_filtered with absurdly large radius value.

How to reproduce

Run this command in the console

Code: Select all

/c game.surfaces[1].find_entities_filtered{position = {0,0}, radius = 1.7976931348623e+308}

Why did i try this

I have a script for finding entities within the reach of the player. However when switching to remote view, the value of player.resource_reach_distance is 1.7976931348623e+308, which makes the function crash Factorio.
Lower values such as 1.7976931348623e+288 doesn't crash the game.

Thanks for the report. In this specific case, there's not a lot of "better" by fixing this - it simply doesn't crash anymore. You really never want to give big values to the radius parameter because the performance scales terribly.
