I get this crash while trying to load an old save-game.

 466.138 Error AppManagerStates.cpp:1663: The mod Even Distribution (2.0.2) caused a non-recoverable error.

The save-game is an old one from before 2.0 release (2020-11-19).

Did this save have asteroid mining active previously?

No, I was not using this mod at that time.

Ok so what looks to be happening is even distribution is marking a technology as researched during it's on_configuration_changed event which fires an on_research_finished event before AM has had a chance to setup the storage tables it uses for that. New version checks that the tables are initialized which should fix it.

So far the crash isn't coming anymore. But my mod AbandonedRuins is repeatedly invoking init(). But that's my part to fix. Your fix has worked, thank you!
