    Thank you for reporting.

    Are you crafting anything in your workstation?  It seems that the errors are caused by a crafting recipe. 

    If you are crafting something in a workstation,  please try canceling crafting and see if that stops the errors.

    this is happening to me too, before I even load into a game

     

     

    The error message has hundreds of possible causes. Without posting your logfile in a new thread (maybe first in the "general support" section instead of the bug report section) nobody can help you

    I had this coming up once... I had to do the procedure to "reset" my save. Basically:

     

    - Quit 7 days to die 

    - go to %appdata%\7daystodie\saves\<Region that your save is in>

    - Copy your save folder and rename it as "<game> backup"

    - make a note of the save game name (<game>), and delete your original game folder 

    - Go into 7 days to die, create a NEW game with the SAME "<game>" name, in the SAME region (mine was in North Xamopa County)

    - Quit the game

    - go into your "<game> backup" folder

    - Copy all the files (not the folders) into the "<game>" folder

    - go into the "<game> backup\Player" folder, copy contents to your "<game>" folder

     

    Now here's where it's going to get hairy. You'll want to copy the contents of the "<game> backup\region" folder into the "<game>\region" folder... but one of the regions is probably causing the issue. If you're lucky, you can copy all of them with no problems. If there is a problem, copy the .rg files until you find the problem one and leave it out. Pray it isn't the one with your base in it because these files save all the changes to the tiles you've made. If you can copy all the regions, the game should load without issues.

    Sorry you encountered this bug, as we are trying to trouble shoot it. The programmers asked if it would be possible to upload your save file so we could get it and test it? This would hopefully allow us to find a way to fix or at least prevent it from happening again.

    This actually worked. I was apparently crafting ~80 stacks of gasoline with 62 oil shale. No clue how that happened

    Very glad to hear you were able to save your game. Could you give us a few more details?

    Such as:

    Game version save file was started on if you remember it

    Game version you had just updated from

    Do you recall if you had been crafting anything else with the gas in the Chemistry Station before the update

    The game was started just after Alpha 21 released

    I updated it to the latest version, Alpha 21.1 (b16)

    I believe I was also crafting beer and antibiotics along with the gas

    I'm glad it worked for you.  I believe it's the gasoline that you had crafting before the update.  The update changed the ingredients necessary and the crafting time for gasolines.

    Yes I have no doubt it was the gas was the difference. But trying to repro it I couldn't get the error. All the resources just disappeared for that. Now I know to test it while having the other items qued to craft. Might let us repro. Thank you for giving us the additional info, much appreciated.
