I would like to know if this mod can be used with another mod called Space Exploration as my attempt so far is failing on load up.
If not then may there be a chance it's made possible?

I choose the General tag versus Bugs as I don't think potential incompatibilities with other mods really count as bugs & I'm not certain if a request for compatibilities would fit under the Ideas & suggestions tag. 1st post I've made on Factorio website.

I spent time using notepad++ with the compare plugin to see no difference between version 2.2.13 & 2.3.1 beyond some spacing, a easter egg (nice), & audio control. So I will take it that whatever my issue is must be on my end. When I tried again to use your mod with Space Exploration no issue occur on startup until have all the mods enabled

Not sure what is going on or why it mentions your mod as the source of the error. Some new ore type is being created & causing issue somehow I guess?
Idk what's causing it, did mods turn by turn with beehive & space exploration to see when it crashes but it's only when all are enabled that the issue occurs.
I'm placing the error msg below.

Failed to load mods: Error in assignID: recipe with name 'iron-ore-comb-2' does not exist

Source: beekeeping-2 (technology).

Mods to be disabled:
NPBees2 (2.3.1)
space exploration (0.6.138) [] reset mod settings
NPBees2 (2.3.1)

I'm just gonna finish the 1 save I got with a buddy & then try your mod again later with space exploration. I assume I'll end up cutting most mods out next go around versus trying a modpack.

Sorry for potentially taking up your time.
