What does this error message mean?
Every-time I load up my game it fails this way after about 5 minutes.
"Can't insert to this EnergySource"

It seems like a bug, could you provide the save game so we can inspect it?

This is the error box I got, and my save file is too large to upload to the server as it is nearly 13 MiB, but it also affects me if I start from the previous auto-saves.
I can upload the save file to somewhere else if you think it will help, just let me know where?

I'm nearly sure Kovarex need it, so if you want to have resolved this bug I think there is no better way.

I uploaded the save file to:

Hope it helps.

Thank you, I moved it to bug reports, I will get to it in the next few days.

It seems to happen when the construction robots try to finish the middle mining drill in the blueprint(see pic). Maybe something buggy about it trying to take electricity from an already existing power source? Workaround seems to be to just cancel the blueprint and build that mining part manually(you can leave the bots to build the rest, it's just that middle one that bugs out). That gets you past the error message at least, until a bugfix is released. Awesome looking base, by the way.

Thanks for the notice, fixed for 0.10

It was caused by item on the ground in the way of building to be built by construction robot. It tried to put the building inside, but it is not possible to do so for electric mining drill.

Now the item is just discarded in such a case.
