I got out of the multicellular editor in sandbox mode only to see that the game spat out a huge error log and hundreds of unhandled errors and my cell disappeared and the whole game became unplayable ☹

I restarted the game and the same thing happened

Did you save the error log? It could be every useful for the head dev, hhyyrylainen, to see it. If you do have it, please paste it at pastebin, since it might to be too long to paste it on the forums directly.

Did the multicellular organisms you designed in the sandbox have any unusual characteristics, such as excessive size or strange shape, that you think could have triggered the bug?

Unless there’s the error log still available, or some known way to trigger the error again, there’s unfortunately nothing I can do about this problem.

Yes it is that message  
when it shows up you can copy it to clipboard  
then go to [pastebin.com](http://pastebin.com) and paste the thing into it  
and share the link to that pastebin of the log with us

Okay, so here’s the error for reference:

```auto
Simulation system failure (threaded run for main thread): System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException: Index was out of range. Must be non-negative and less than the size of the collection. (Parameter 'index')
   at Systems.MicrobeVisualsSystem.GetMulticellularMembraneDataIfReadyOrStartGenerating(CellTemplate cellProperties, OrganelleLayout`1 organelleContainer, Int64 leaderCellId, Int64 cellId, MulticellularSpeciesMember& multicellular, MulticellularGrowth& growthOrder, Int32 currentCellIndex, Int32 nextBodyPlanCellToGrowIndex) in /home/hhyyrylainen/Projects/Thrive/src/microbe_stage/systems/MicrobeVisualsSystem.cs:line 394
   at MicrobeWorldSimulation.OnProcessFixedWithThreads(Single delta) in /home/hhyyrylainen/Projects/Thrive/src/microbe_stage/MicrobeWorldSimulation.generated.cs:line 217

```

And I think it might be the problem that was reported also by other people that if you reduce the number of cells in your body plan, then the membrane builds will fail for existing members who had more cells than the species now has. As fix was made for that bug as identified and it will be in today’s release.
