I get this error message when I try to open planet progression window of any faction.

The mod Enemy Race Manager (2.0.36) caused a non-recoverable error.
Please report this error to the mod author.

Error while running event enemyracemanager::on_gui_click (ID 1)
Invalid SurfaceIdentification. Surface does not exist.
stack traceback:

There's a strange entry, which I can't really attribute to any of my mods.
[space-location=kr-air-purifier-helper] kr-air-purifier-helper
This sounds like something from Krastorio, but I don't use the mod in my current game. SA v.2.0.55 mod-list.json

probably internal data issue. I'll need your save to test.

I found the issue. ERM is trying to read a missing or removed mod surface.
At some point I had Krastorio 2 - Air Purifier & Krastorio 2 - air purifier helper in my savegame for testing, but removed later on.

Here's how to reproduce.
1. Install aforementioned mods
2. Start a new game
3. Save the game, disable the mods and reload the savegame
alternatively /c game.delete_surface("kr-air-purifier-helper")
4. Open ERM > Details > Planet Progressions
5. See error message.

Not sure if this is on ERM's part or that purifier helper's mod.

ok

2.0.37 fixes it.
