Hi Volker,
Thanks for your help! I have updated the recent modification for the LIGHTCONE_PARTICLES_GROUPS option. But the same error also occurred. My simulation setup and the detailed error are shown as following.

Is this set by definition or some extra setups is needed?

Is there some setups to make Gadget4 can post-process the particle lightcones and obtain the halo lightcones? I don’t find something about this in the document.

In practice, this would typically be very difficult for memory reasons - normally the particle lightcone data is much bigger than a single snapshot, so running the halo finder in one go on it would not be possible. This could only be circumvented by piecing things together somehow. If your lightcone is small enough, you can in principle accumlate the lightcone data and store it as a mock snapshot file, and then run the group finder on it.
