Yes I have many mods including the space mod and DyWorld, but I disabled many mods and yet when I try and play the first mission the main starter window is empty, and I see a message maybe from Infotron, oh I should remove that one. That Dyworld should be... now when I click start I get a stop, bug, and its saying Dyworld did something silly but it is NOT active, and it is kind of making me sad. I kind of wish Factorio would let me remove installed mods but you can just turn them on or off but that obviously doesn't seem to be enough.

here is the error, and infotron is actually off.

The scenario level caused a non-recoverable error.
Please report this error to the scenario author.

Error while running event level::on_init()
Unknown interface: DyWorld
stack traceback:
[C]: in function 'call'

OK, I got it started, I think I have two different events with the same name somehow, I don't know. I even tried deleting and installing and everything returned, man did steam just unhide the directory :( Anyway, it's fine I guess.

Hi,

I would like to say, I can somehow help you, but I cannot and Im sorry for that. I felt same frustration when I used lots of mods in Skyrim and some mods did not like each other. :D

At least you solve it.
