waste shielding not updated on purpose by SMM as a dependency to i dont recall what mod
Looks like the crash is in Drone Chargers (@AniMouse fyi)
still havent used it
Try disabling it and see if you still crash. If you do, send a fresh debug log, because the crash will definitely be in a different piece of code
ok, doing this rn
thanks for helping !
very strange, SMM doesnt show it as installed, and i'm pretty sure i did install it a few mns after it was out..

Hm, turn mods off and back on and try loading into the game again
the drone chargers are in my game...
if you take the installed filter off and see the mod in the list, does it have the installed icon?
shall i load a save from inside game?
if the mod's still being loaded I don't think there'll be any change

strange..
it's a dependency of something
so it is installed, just not by you...
Oh, for sure i did install it
you just can't uninstall it, because a mod has also installed it
a few seconds after it was up on the site
so, it's been installed twice?
nvm, we'll see what Anivirus says about it, i guess
Oh, it is a dependency !
of the Lithium mod
Lithium yeah
just found that myself
so we just have to wait, maybe
not a big issue these crashes in fact
Thank you again, Sam !
How do you work around them? (In case someone else has the same issue while playing with the mod, and finds this thread)
i just reload my game...
and delete the save i don't want to load, (as when i've done something wrong), because i have the auto continue mod by André
then i quit and restart
It's a dependency to Lithium
Well, regardless, I will look into the issues
Mod may in fact be unstable, but I thought that I have covered all of edge cases in it

If this isn't the mod you were looking for, try a different spelling.
Mm I see, I might push a test patch for potential fix, but I don't guarantee it working
I assume that outside of crashes everything works fine?
Hello ! havent had the chance to try rechargeable drones yet, but otherwise no bugs of any kind
i'm just beggining to craft batteries, beggining phase 4
Oh I see
So it's probably some kind of data disposal issue
Then I'll ask in modding channels if there are any obvious issues
If none are present, I'll stall the fix until release version
no problem, thank you ^^
anyway its not a big issue..not gamebreaking !
Got the solution, will be in 0.9.0 which also adds UI for the charger
It was in fact issue with disposal of hooks
Solution
Nice ! Well done !
