I was really hoping I wouldn't have to fix this for any other mods, but it's an issue of compatibility with other inserter mods (specifically FastLongInserters or AdvancedLongInserters, whichever one you're using). I was hoping it was just a Rubia issue, but seems I needed to expand the fix to the rest of the inserters that had manual compatibility patches.
...wait a minute, how are you triggering that error? Neither FastLong nor AdvancedLong has updated to 2.1; it shouldn't be possible to hit that error, unless you have an unofficially updated version?
Because technically speaking, More Long Inserters is perfectly compatible with just Space Age. It's the compatibility with other inserter mods that is currently broken, but only when those inserters are present.
EDIT: Should be fixed in 5.2.2, for either FastLong or AdvancedLong, as well as any other inserter mods (though I am unable to test, as there are no official 2.1-compatible versions of said mods)
