i got a different error, but it also happened after restarting the game after a few days, just having applied all the latest updates for the base game, this mod and several other mods (including slightly modifying my modpack) ...
anyway, i got only one error message, and only for this mod, version 0.3.6.
here it is from the current.log :
(edit: deleted 0.3.6 and reinstalled 0.3.5, and no problem to start the game now)
