Error that keeps crashing the game
« on: June 15, 2013, 11:32:40 am »

After searching the board and other posts I can't seem to find any information about this error:

*** Error(s) finalizing the reaction LANDMINE_TOXIC
Unrecognized Inorganic Token: WARPSTONE_SOLID
*** Error(s) finalizing the reaction TURRET_WARPSTONE
Unrecognized Inorganic Token: WARPSTONE_SOLID

help? it keeps crashing the game.

This error occurs whenever you play with Harder Mining turned off, because that causes the material WARPSTONE_SOLID not to exist, and therefore these two reactions are impossible.

There are a couple ways to get rid of the error

(1) Play with harder mining on
(2) Play with harder mining off, but delete/comment out those two reactions from the reaction raws.  (ideally also comment them out from the entity raws, but not really needed).
(3) Play with harder mining off, *un-comment* those material so that it do exist.  If desired, change the occurence so that you don't actually get veins of warpstone.

I don't know that anything changed in this version, but in the past this error has existed for a while, but not cause any crashes or actual problems.  For this reason I *guess* that it is a coincidence and not the root cause of your crash, but I don't know how you came to that conclusion, maybe you are right.

well it is the only error that seems to pop up when it does crash, though it may have something to do with a thatchery or scriptorium as they are the last things i built or another cause. otherwise it is my only lead to the crashes

Not all errors lead to crashes, and not all crashes leave any trace in the error log, unfortunately.

Stable warpstone doesn't actually make mining harder - it's the other varieties of warpstone that do that.  Just uncomment the stable warpstone and allow it to occur.

yeah i am assuming this too, as it has crashed during world building too. so best assumption is that some event is causing the crash

how would i go about doing that? or is as simple as removing the text from the file?

-edit-

it's tricky because Harder Mining disables the whole file, not just the individual materials.  If you're not comfortable tinkering with raws I'm not sure this is the right solution.  I really don't think it's related to the crash anyway.  If you want to do the simplest possible raw tinkering to clear the error log, I suggest deleting the reactions, not adding the material.

Found 2 occurrence(s) in 2 file(s)

remove the one line in the entity and the whole reaction ("paragraph") in reaction

The above will clear your error log, I'll be surprised a bit if it fixes your crash though.  If you are experiencing crash only with Deep Drow in your world please see here

Spoiler: Won't work (click to show/hide)

EDIT: Whoops, that's right, harder mining disables the whole file.  This won't do anything.

That will also enable rockwraiths and metalwraiths, if I'm not mistaken.
