Crash on new game. Here is the log, i hope you find it helpful.

The mod miniMAXlme: Character scaler and selector (2.0.17) caused a non-recoverable error. Please report this error to the mod author.
Error while running event minime::on_init() Error when running interface function AbandonedR uins.exclude _ surf ace: _ AbandonedRuins_updated_fork /control.lua:280: attempt to index field (a nil value) stack traceback: _ _AbandonedR uins updated fork _ /controllua:280: in function _ AbandonedR uins updated fork _ /controllua:276> stack traceback: (C): in function 'call' _ Pi-C _lib icommon.lua:384: in function temote_call' _ minime /scripts/surfaces.lua:449: in function Iblacklist_surfacel _ _minime iscripts/surfaceslual 24: in function 'create_surfacel _ minime _ /control.lua:274: in function 'init. minime _ icontrollua:382: in function < minime icontrollua:378>

Can you please reformat your text? It is hard to read with all the spaces. And what version does AbandonedRuins have?

It looks like you have 1.4.5 ? Then that line reads this: elseif game.surfaces[name].planet ~= nil then which could ean that game.surfaces[name] isn't set causing the nil value (.planet references a nil then).

1.4.6 is out and contains an added check for game.surfaces[name].

Apologies for the late response, I was asleep. Anyhow, I ran the update (now 1.4.6 ) and got an error on map creation again. This time the log was similar but spat out some different stuff.

To get the log, I got a screenshot and ran it through OCR since I have no idea where to get the log otherwise. So, last time was because it was the result that got spat out from that. This time, instead of being lazy, I when and formatted the and corrected the OCR vomit to make sure everything is correct this time.
I wish this part of the site supported codebocks or img links, it would be a lot easier.

No worries, I have work Mo-Fr so I also can respond slowly. I uploaded 1.4.7 which contains the same check in surface.lua:27.

You can upload the logfile to websites like paste-bins. They are often taking no charge. Then I can read it properly. And please when you report a bug, include the debug lines which you need to enable in mod settings. The FAQ states it very clearly: https://mods.factorio.com/mod/AbandonedRuins_updated_fork/faq
