My game crashed when i tried placing a cable to a certain configuration:

Could you help me somehow?
My game crashed while i tried to connect a cable into an exporter, the exporter was connected into a brewing stand... Since then, the game crashed and I can´t open the map anymore, and my last backup were somedays ago.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Place an exporter conected to a brewing stand;
2. Place a cable connecting the exporter into a crafter (the crafter were connected to a system and were next to the brewing stand, not connected to it apparently).
3. My game crashed...
4. Tried to reopen the world and crashed again before enter the map.

Apologize if my english is not very good, I speak portuguese.

If somehow helps, the crash report is bellow:

I tried to reproduce this issue on RS 1.9.15 and was unable to. If possible, please give clear steps (a video, screenshots, or a world download would be appreciated).

Also, the initial crash seems to be similar to #2946.
Maybe it is a good idea to implement a "hotfix"/workaround (since this happened to a couple of people already). Maybe just returning a DOWN position (if a cable is asked for its direction) instead of crashing?

Have since had more cases of this. The cause is Rollbacks. Server owners will roll back certain region files to fix crashes. Since that doesn't rollback our world data files there will be orphaned node data.

I believe this was accidentally fixed by the covers PR, as cables now write nbt data when saved.

I just had this issue as well, but my crash was after I connected a cable to a line of constructors and destructors that were offline. If anyone wants my crash log to help in solving this, here it is: https://pastebin.com/fQmc2qsN

@billyma6 yours is an unrelated issue. Also caused by Morpho-Tool not by RS from a first look.

Today it happened again when i connected a cable to an external storage connected to an interface connected to a crafter. the cable connected to the crafter and the game crashed again. the crafter was linked to a system.

The problem seems to be related to something cyclical when we connect cables or something, I don't understand programming, but that seems to be it. See if you can reproduce the bug.E
