Getting a similar script error in Tight Spot level 5:

.../Roaming/Factorio/temp/currently-playing/tightspot.lua:49: assertion failed!

Sorry for the slight necro-post, this thread was the only hit on google.

This is on Factorio 0.13.9, build 23372.

Edit: Same issue on 0.13.10, build 23530.

Thanks for the report,

I can see the issue in the files,
Line 54 of level-05: If you upload your savegame i can fix it for you, and the campaign will be fixed this week

I can't launch level 5. Here's a savegame of level 4, though I'm not sure it'll help.

I can wait for the next release.

Thank you for the quick response, and migrating my report!

Fixed for 0.13.14.

Yesterday I finished lvl 4 (v. 0.13.15) and could not continue to lvl 5 for the same reason. Also with v0.13.16 this is still the case. So it appears the fix didn't take.

Here's a savegame and screenshot https://we.tl/3O0KgMAE1E

[Operating system: Mac OS X 10.11.6]

Hit this exact message today in v0.13.17, both trying to advance after level 4 and directly launching level 5. Checking the lua files, level 5 is trying to use fast-inserter and filter-inserter, and those don't have prices set in tightspot.lua (previous levels currently use stack-inserter and stack-filter-inserter). After changing that, I then got the following error:
Changing the always_day line for level 5 to match that for level 4 seems to have worked and let level 5 properly launch.

Edit: Oh, the level 5 recipe list had stack-inserter and stack-filter-inserter instead of fast-inserter and filter-inserter, making it somewhat difficult to craft science 3, so it looks like the recipe list and the item purchase list need those 2 items swapped between them.

Fixed for the next version of 0.13.

It should be fixed in 0.13.18. The release notes say so. But still I get the same assertion error. Maybe because I'm playing the level on easy?

I get the error when I try to continue my save game from finishing lvl 4, but also when I start it fresh from Play>Start Campaign.

Try restarting the level from the menu (don't load the save). It might not be migrating correctly.

You beat my edit, clarifying just that... So it also doesn't work when starting "fresh".

I still get this error for level 5 tightspot, assertion failed. it's not fixed yet, please let me know how to fix.

Are you using an old save or did you create the save using the latest version of 0.13?

all new saves

I can confirm it. When starting a new campaign I immediately get the error. I only unlocked TightSpot-5 on easy level (in v0.13).

[Factorio 0.14.8, OSX]

Fixed in version 0.14.10

Confirmed. It's now working.

But the level has a mistake: It is not possible to build Filter inserters, needed for Science pack 3. Only Stack filter inserters are available.

I still get same error. I have steam, so when someone says "fixed in version 14" or whatever, not sure what that means. just wish there was an easy resolution for this that would update Steam version so I can just do level 5. Or an easy way to fix.

0.14 is the latest experimental version of the game. You have to opt into it in the steam betas section.

So I got the 0.14 version and still I get the same error and cannot get to level 5. I guess tight spot is just broken and will never get fixed, whatever.

Were you playing from an old save game or did you start fresh?
