Power Checker: CTD in Blueprint Designer
cc: @Marcio Neves
Looks like I'm fairly consistently getting a CTD when using the Power Checker in a blueprint. It only crashes when I'm actually working in the BP Designer. Buildings placed using these blueprints do not cause a crash. It seems most likely to crash after a BP with an existing Power Checker in it is loaded. However, it will not always crash immediately. If I do precisely nothing in-game, it will keep running (seemingly?) indefinitely. But once I resume building (even non-electrical components), it will eventually crash.
I currently have a compound with multiple BP Designers (all stock Mk.3). Since I was working on this last night (comparing multiple different possibilities for walls/roofs/etc), I had this BP loaded into several different BP Designers. All have a Power Checker in the same place, with the same wiring. Loading up this save, with those buildings already loaded and present in the BP Designers, does not cause a crash. But once I load that BP into an empty Designer, the crashes resume again. Also, intriguingly, clearing any one of those BP Designers of the buildings from last night will also lead to a crash. Same stacktrace in both scenarios.
In the debug log attached, I loaded the game, loaded a BP with a Power Checker, and was working on some metal framing elsewhere in the structure when it crashed. Interestingly, I first noticed this crash intermittently some weeks ago, but it stopped happening before I could track it down. Even up until last night, where I spent hours working on these BPs with absolutely no crash. Loaded it up today, and it's right back to crashing again.

Key Details for SMMDebug-2025-02-09-12-25-26.zip triggered by @McCovicanThe only changes since last night:
• Installed https://ficsit.app/mod/TrainGateFix
• Updated https://ficsit.app/mod/ModularStations
• Updated https://ficsit.app/mod/FlexSplines
This BP does include multiple other modded parts, most of which I think are not in any way problematic (or which have caused me any issues elsewhere). Those parts are from: Structural Solutions, Cable Choices Plus, DI More Lights, More Beams, UpsideDownFoundations, InvisiblePowerLines (which IIRC are just reskinned stock lines?), and FlexSplines. Given the recent update to FlexSplines, I attempted this without it loaded it all, but it still crashed. Also attempted without InvisiblePowerLines for good measure.
Fortunately, the delay between action and CTD means this isn't a halting issue, as I can save before it crashes. Loading that save after starting the game again seems to work without issue. However, slightly inconvenient to have to save and restart the game before and after loading something with a Power Checker into the BP Designer. 😅
