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

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

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.

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