It was a long working day, today. So I'm no longer much focused, sorry for the many releases this evening.

I appreciate the updates, friend, but the latest hotfix is still breaking something for me.
Maybe roll it back for now and get some rest? Sorry if this one's my fault from another one of my mods.

@Arrevax Thank you for understanding. I have hopefully now fixed all in 1.2.4. :-)

Next time, I upload only when the release isn't crashing at least. That was to much many small releases ...

 161.988 Error AppManagerStates.cpp:1649: The mod The Ruins Mod 2.0 (1.2.4) caused a non-recoverable error.
Please report this error to the mod author.

Error while running event AbandonedRuins20::on_configuration_changed
value for required parameter 1 (other) is missing
stack traceback:

No idea why this is happening now. :-(

Thank you for your work on the mod! I'm still having trouble, though. Wouldn't be anything to do with using the Silly Pack, would it?

In case it helps, changing the "hostile ruin defenses" setting doesn't affect the error.

```
local function setup_enemy_force()
local enemy_force = game.forces["AbandonedRuins:enemy"] or game.create_force("AbandonedRuins:enemy")

util.set_enemy_force_diplomacy(enemy_force, false)

storage.enemy_force = enemy_force
return enemy_force
end

util.get_enemy_force = function()
if (storage.enemy_force and storage.enemy_force.valid) then
return storage.enemy_force
end
return setup_enemy_force()
end
```

I haven't change every wrong occurrence of game.forces.enemy which are the biters, not an other fake "player".

The latest patch worked! Thanks again!
