Well the game crashes on start when both this mod and https://mods.factorio.com/mod/PickerTweaks are enabled.

PickerTweaks 2.2.5 are not compatible with 1.1.12
Maybe you use a patched version. Could you send this to me? (upload to usual place: https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?p=532919#p532919)

I was wrong on this.
Testing...

Oh my god! This is an interesting bug:
To avoid crashes because of assertions I redefined assert to do nothing:

  if not (__DebugAdapter and __DebugAdapter.instrument) then function assert(condition) end end

.. But I did not think it necessary to return anything (like original assert does)

PickerTwaeks, resp. stdlib used assert as a part of an expression:

    source = type == 'string' and data.raw[source] or (**assert(type == 'table', 'Source missing')** and source)

So the lessons learned is: Much more things in factorio modding are more global than expected.

Interesting. Well lua is a messy garbage to be honest as a language, kinda like vanilla JS

BTW I confirm it's fixed now. (0.3.10)
