This mod currently seems to break research early on where it requires you to craft a lab to unlock red science. The game doesn't seem to be able to register the craft, so you're essentially soft locked while this mod is installed.

It can be circumvented by disabling this mod, crafting the lab, then re-enabling it, but that seems like a completely unnecessary step.

Having the same issue.
it can also be circumvented by using an infinity chest to spawn in a assembly to build a lab which is less of a hassle but still annoying
