I attempted to install this mod and try it out, but upon loading my world I get this error:

The mod FasterStart caused a non-recoverable error.
Please report this error to the mod author.

Error while running event FasterStart::on_init()

stack traceback:

Disabling any other mods doesn't seem to help, either

fixed

Sorry, my bad works fine now. I had it updated, but I did not see I can choose 2 versions of the mod, by default 0.17.201 was chosen.

Was working fine up to a couple of weeks ago... (currently on 0.17.38, updated all mods in game)
