[0.12.7] Issue with building more than one mine of the same type

[Devious]

Just replicated this issue on vanilla, here are the steps:

 

- Build a mine on a claimable asteroid, doesn't matter which type.

- Build the same type of mine in the same sector or elsewhere, doesn't matter.

- When acknowledging the warning screen of the second mine it draws the money but doesn't build the mine.

- When you jump out of the sector and back in, the old asteroid is still at its original position but in the center of the sector a glitched mine will spawn of the type you purchased, without any functionality besides being able to hire crew there.

 

Here is a screenshot of the associated error:

Sadly this still is not fixed... I reported it a week ago, also there are some much older topics about this issue. Building mines is an essential part of the game, and it does not work. Hoping for a little fix coming soon...

Maybe some scripting could solve it? Thought about copy each new created mine and delete the original to avoid duplicated entities? Or is there any way to change entitiy ids?

Are you guys sure to use the vanilla minefounder.lua?

 

Because line 289 is a comment

 

 

 

 

 

Edit: @Devious Your Modpack modifies minefounder.lua

Edit2: I looked deeper into it and the changes from the modpack would not interfere for this particular bug.

the interesting lines are probably:

283    desc.name = name
285    local station = Sector():createEntity(desc)

The crash happens in line 285, but as we know from the bug description an Entity with the name of the supposed to spawn Mine already exists in the sector (the old mine). I'm doing an untested guess here: Sector():createEntity(), doesn't like creating 2 entities with the same name in the same sector!?

Meant to post this earlier sry:

 

    -- create station
    --[[local desc = StationDescriptor()
    desc.factionIndex = asteroid.factionIndex
    desc:setPlan(plan)
    desc.position = asteroid.position
    desc:addScript("data/scripts/entity/crewboard.lua")
    desc.name = ship.name

    ship.name = ""

    local station = Sector():createEntity(desc)]]

    local station = Sector():createStation(Faction(asteroid.factionIndex), plan, asteroid.position, "data/scripts/entity/crewboard.lua")

 

if you cant tell every is commented out except for the last line.

Yes I used a vanilla minefounder.lua: I completely uninstalled and downloaded Avorion to Avoid any issue with game files... it is always the same issue.

This issue also happens when you found the 2nd mine in another sector.

I use an unmodded avorion and I can confirm the tha same issue here.
