When you have air filters working on surface and a warp happens to different surface i get a crash message:

Error while running event better-air-filtering::on_tick (ID 0)
LuaSurface API call when LuaSurface was invalid.
stack traceback:
	[C]: in function '__index'
	__better-air-filtering__/control.lua:412: in function 'get_pollution'
	__better-air-filtering__/control.lua:130: in function 'absorbChunk'
	__better-air-filtering__/control.lua:125: in function 'f'
	__better-air-filtering__/control.lua:291: in function <__better-air-filtering__/control.lua:286>

Potentially it can also clash with NewGame+ mod.

Hi there !

I preferred to post here than on the mod's portal forums to be able to add images more easily, or post saves if needed, I hope it suits you.

1. When I try to automate a direct close circuit of recyclable filters, (first picture) I put four/five of them so that the operation is continuous, but after some time ends up only one filter left in the circuit ; Is this normal ? (A more decentralized production is planned anyway, it was just for test purpose.)

2. Then wanted to make some try on a creative/all tech fresh save, I got a crash. (Second pic)
   Edit: Oops, I didn't have the reflex to save that creative world, I should have because I'm not able to replicate the issue since...
   What I did : Placed filtering machines ; Wonder why they don't want to take any filter ; Remember that I read on the forum ten minutes ago that it's because there is no pollution ; Blame myself for being stupid ; Install a lot of coal mining to make pollution (as coal for the filter) ; Still doesn't want to take the filter so try to remove / replace it ; Crash.

.

Optional read, I'd also like to ask a question, just out of curiosity :
I have read what has been said on multiple topics about inserters unable to recover used filters from MK1 air filtering, but I confess I don't quite understand : Why does it work with other entities in the game, such as nuclear reactors ? Why does it work with the MK2 air filtering ? Why when I try it, it works a first time before stopping ? As an oblivious person to anything code related, that makes no sense ! ^^

Thanks for your work !
