[A14b Steam] World Generation won't end (crash) when using a custom scenario

[Tyrog]

Hello everyone.

I've recently tried to imitate a Dwarf Fortress embark with the Scenario feature in RimWorld A14 (see in attachements). It's not as complex as it could be but still.

The problem :

When I try to start a World Generation using this scenario, the game crashes (freezes) within a few seconds. The error message is the classic prompt " RimWorld isn't responding " and I'm given the option to wait it out or close the process. It doesn't make sense because at this point, nothing involving the scenario is calculated, afaik.

What I've tried:

These two potential solutions didn't solve the problem : lower the size of the world creation; uninstall all mods (vanilla).
I've tried to create a regular world with a stock scenario (rich explorer) and it worked, regardless of the size. Nothing wrong with my world generation except for this particular scenario. Another Workshop scenario also worked.

How to replicate :

I'm providing the scenario in attachment. Try it out if you want.


Thanks in advance!

I encountered the same bug, it's caused by the Pyromaniac forced trait. The map generation goes fine without it.

@ Tyrog - Thank you for the detailed report and scenario file to reproduce the error. This really helps a lot. I started a new A14e game with your scenario file and the game hung at the "Generating world" stage (so this A14b bug appears to still be present in A14e).

@ Naxdar - Thanks for the extra info. I did two quick tests using Tyrog's scenario file and changed Pyromaniac to Night Owl and Brawler, and both times the world generated without a problem. So there does appear to be some sort of problem with the Pyromaniac trait (not sure if it's limited to only that trait though).
