The mod Space Exploration (0.7.30) caused a non-recoverable error.
Please report this error to the mod author.

Error while running event space-exploration::on_init()
Error when running interface function AbandonedRuins.exclude_surface: AbandonedRuins_updated_fork/control.lua:280: attempt to index field '?' (a nil value)

This error both occurs on attempting to generate a new world, and on loading an existing world once Abandoned Ruins has been added.

Per a comment on the report in the SE Discord: "it's an issue with that mod, it currently does not check if a surface exists before checking for planet status"

The old AR worked with the old SE, so presumably such a check could be added or updated?

control.lua:280 here reads: elseif game.surfaces[name].planet ~= nil then

That could mean (assumed you have latest version of AR, 1.4.5) that game.surfaces[name] does not exist.

Can you please enable debug log and upload it somewhere NOT HERE? You can do it within the game or at startup, when you have to start a new game if loading a save-game doesn't work. I need to know what name is set.

0.7.32 of SE does a bad function invocation:
AbandonedRuins.exclude_surfaces()

1) Please no direct invocation! Please use a remote interface! Direct invocation is discouraged.
2) exclude_surfaces doesn't exist anymore.
3) No parameter given even with exclude_surface (omitted s) is unsupported. You must provide a surface name.
4) Excluding all surfaces (I guess that was intended) shouldn't be done by an other mode. exclude_surface is for disabling spawning of ruins entirely andwith all surfaces means no ruins nowhere whatsoever.

I'm NOT going to add support for this.

1.4.6 adds a check for game.surfaces[name] which shouldn't let the game crash at line 280.

Crash in control.lua:280 is a duplicate of https://mods.factorio.com/mod/AbandonedRuins_updated_fork/discussion/68d68b24c4bfa215c2d9f84f
