2. Load a save.
3. Play until reproduction, click the Editor button.
4. See the bug.

Expected behaviour

Editor loading and allowing me to view all the data and edit my cell.

That last part then repeats indefinitely as the editor load has failed, which causes a ton of code to be skipped and it is an inconsistent state so it cannot work.

Here's my initial thoughts after looking at the code: this seems like a Godot scene instancing failure. The failing code is calling AddPage("PatchMap"); in the Thriveopedia and it crashes on line if (page.ParentPageName != null && allPages.Keys -- which should only be possible if the page variable is null. And the only reason that would be null if the scene instantiation fails, which Godot does seem to give some error message parts:

USER ERROR: Method argument to Callable constructor must be a non-empty string
   at: Callable (core/variant/callable.cpp:334)
USER ERROR: Cannot connect to '': the provided callable is null.
   at: connect (core/object/object.cpp:1315)
USER ERROR: Index c.from &FLAG_MASK = 110 is out of bounds (nc = 17).
   at: instantiate (scene/resources/packed_scene.cpp:522)

My initial conclusion is that this also seems like a random Godot scene loading failure where it just randomly decides to not load a scene file correctly that usually loads completely fine. I haven't yet looked if there is an existing issue in Godot repository about this.

Edit: I can also confirm that this doesn't happen each time you load a save made in the microbe stage and wait until getting to the editor. I just did that with a random save I had and I didn't see this error.

@hhyyrylainen
Should I attach my current save file?

[hhyyrylainen]

Only if loading it and going to the editor consistently causes the issue. I suspect it wouldn't but if it does then I'd be very interested to take a look.

[Teashrock]

Nope. This time everything was good. Seems like a random Godot crash. They should debug the engine well.
