Till an possible update is uploaded I went into the mod zip and replaced inside the "control.lua" (at the bottom) what armor is given at the start. it seams that due to krastorio changes to other equipment parts (like roboport) those are not placable into the FasterStart-Armor.
if Count(contents) > 0 then
player_inventory.insert({name="power-armor-mk2"})
armor = player_inventory.find_item_stack("power-armor-mk2")
else
armor_inventory.insert({name="power-armor-mk2"})
armor = armor_inventory.find_item_stack("power-armor-mk2")
end
