I attempted to place the terraformer and received the below nonrecoverable error. This error for Bio Industries 1.1.18 occurred simultaneously with Factory Planner 1.1.19. I have posted a message for the owner of that mod on their discussion channel.

Thanks for the report! However, this is not a bug in BI, but in Factory Inspector. I've replied in the thread you've opened there and provided a simple fix that you can apply manually (unpack Factory Inspector and edit the function starting at line 6 in script/event-handlers.lua) until the mod is updated.
