I personally think this is an issue with Alien Biomes (or the game) and not with my mod. I might add a similar fix, but I'm a bit annoyed, because this isn't my fault, it's Alien Biomes intentionally breaking other mods. What if we would all mindlessly start removing tiles and entities added by other mods? That's inappropriate in my opinion.
In my opinion, a better option would be for factorio to raise the limit. I think this "battle for tiles" where you have to hack your tiles in priority lists of other mods is kind of stupid. I'm tempted to just mark this mod incompatible with Alien Biomes, because I'm a bit triggered right now.
I'm sorry for the rant, please don't feel offended. Thank you for reporting the issue.
I'll probably inject a similar patch like you proposed.
