In the most recent version of factorio (v0.17.50), I'm unable to load mods due to this error:

Sorry if this is an error with any of the other mods, I run a heavily modded game with Angels, Bobs and AAI. I tried loading up the game without FARL and it managed to load up, so I'm assuming it might be a problem with the FARL sprite.

can you upload a fresh save (without FARL) so that i can sync the mods easily? Or post the complete mod list. With the mods in the screenshot i get no error

It might be fixed in the latest update, if it's not please upload a fresh save without FARL somewhere.

Thanks for the quick fix, it seems to work in the new update. Just in case you need it for reference, here's the full mod list:
