"why would you install this mod and want to start on Nauvis?"
Because there are other mods which depend on this mod. Mods which add planets, and then require this mod to choose starting planet. I would like to add planets, but still start on Nauvis. I would suggest replacing the word "None" with "Nauvis". "None" causing the crash made it seem like whatever variable it adjusts is set to nothing instead of a value.
But please do not remove Nauvis as an option, because other mods include this in their list of dependencies, and in order to use those mods, one has to have this one, but may not wish to alter start planet.

Wonderful! I'll check it out :)
