So after finally managing to figure out how to land on a new planet. I launched a pod to vulcanus. After about 20 seconds I get this error:

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

Thank you for the report. Can you please share what mod do you use to modify tank grid?

That makes total sense on why it is crashing then. I added Bob's Vehicle Equipment after starting the game. It make vehicles have their own "unique" equipment and the non-vehicle equipment cannot be put in the equipment grid.
