I had this error pop up at first too. This error occurs when the "Factorio and Conquer: Tiberian Dawn" mod is active but does not create the planet Tiber that this mod is looking for in order to relocate it. That only happens if you have changed the settings on Factorio and Conquer. So here is the solution. (edit to add: If you already have a bunch of mods turned on, you can create a new game, save it, do these steps, load the game you saved, sync your mods, exit back to the main menu... you will be back where you started but now you're able to turn on both Factorio and Conquer and Interstellar Journey).
1: Turn off all mods.
2: Turn ON Space Age
3: Confirm (resets game)
4: Go to Settings -> Mod Settings
5: For the "Factorio and Conquer: Tiberian Dawn" mod, change setting "Tiberium Initially Spawns On" back to "New planet Tiber has Tiberium" (this is the default setting so you can just click the reset button).
6: Confirm (resets game)
You can now load the Interstellar Journey (and even the Interstellar Journey Modpack if you wish).
