[1.7.3] Item cloning + egos = bugs

#1 Post by minmay »

So if you have a mitotic mindstar you can do some stuff with font of sacrifice. The code path behind this is convoluted, but the short version is: the clone()d mindstar has the same __original field as the first mindstar, so the same __original table is referenced by both mindstars, which confuses the ego application code in spectacular, exponential fashion.

I don't know whether or not there are ways to get this situation other than the mitotic ego, sadly. I did notice that Projection, the premier method of duplicating items, does seem to change the __original field on items in its inventory.
