That can certainly happen, since my mod changes the start of the game, unfortunately many conflicts cannot be solved completely automatically and require compatibility patches, within my mods or the mod that is causing the conflict.
Here is a list of tested compatibility.
Unfortunately, at the moment I don't have the time to include more compatibility patches for other mods.
But on the start game you should not need bricks to research bricks, the first recipe for my science packs (handcrafting only) need stone, wood, iron and copper. Can you provide a save file where you end in this situation?
