Hey, so this wasn't actually fixed, but I just fixed it myself in my local version temporarily. Can you please add it or something similar to the main mod.
Replace data-updates.lua line272 with https://pastebin.com/fPjMscJc for the fix I've been using (feel free to tweak the recipe if you want)
Unfortunately that fix is a bit too simplified, while the game does start and appear fine the actual recipe is impossible to craft in-game, as the roboport is hidden and the recipe is removed too by the bobs setting. (Unless you somehow find or are given a bunch of mk1 roboports from somewhere)
I have seen it and I could have participated in the private beta but I did not really find the time to. I also backed him on Patreon with a very small sum.
I see what I can do. First it needs to become somewhat stable and work with Angels without crashing. I read that it could have problems with AB.
