[Android] Game crashes on mod load due to missing audio files and unknown fields #249

Description

@Hinderchik

Platform: Android
Game Version: Mindustry 154.3
Mod Version: [Please specify if you know, or write "unknown"]
Expected Behavior: The mod "exogenesis" should load and work without crashes.
Actual Behavior: The game freezes or crashes immediately after the mod finishes loading.

Detailed Description:
After updating the game to version 154.3, the mod loads but then the game becomes unresponsive or crashes. The log shows two main categories of errors:

  1. Critical Audio File Errors: Many Audio file not found warnings for sound files (e.g., sounds/railgun, sounds/laser, sounds/shootBig). It seems the game cannot find the sounds/ folder or the audio files inside the mod archive.
  2. Unknown Field Warnings: Numerous Unknown field warnings for JSON fields like recoilAmount, shootShake, rotateShooting, etc. While marked as warnings, in combination with missing assets they likely cause instability.
  3. Tech Tree Warnings: Some content prerequisites are missing from the tech tree (e.g., 'w-enforcer' isn't in the tech tree).

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Install Mindustry v154.3 on Android.
  2. Place the aureusstratusexogenesis.zip mod file into the /Android/data/com.anuken.mindustry/files/mods/ directory.
  3. Launch the game. The mod loads, but the game crashes or freezes shortly after.

Log File:
The complete last_log.txt file is attached. Here are the first critical lines as an example:
[I] [Mindustry] Version: 154.3
[I] Loaded mod 'exogenesis' in 66.32869ms
[W] Audio file not found: sounds/railgun (.mp3 or .ogg)
[W] [1-augur.json]: Unknown field 'coolantUsage' for class 'ItemTurret'
... (hundreds of similar warnings follow)

Additional Information:

  • The mod archive structure appears correct (ZIP file containing a folder with mod.hjson, content/, etc.).
  • The issue did not occur with game version 146 (the mod simply failed to load). After updating to 154.3, the mod loads but causes a crash.
  • No other mods are installed.

Attachments:

  • last_log.txt (full game log)
  • Screenshot of the mods folder (optional, if needed)
