I came across this error as well. After some investigation the issue was actually caused by stdlib. You have PickerExtended by any chance? For me that was the particular mod that would cause stdlib to do something weird with the __DebugAdapter object resulting in the crash that Factorio was blaming on nixie-tubes.

If I disable PickerExtended all is well.

I have PickerExtended installed too!
But this error only occuers after I update 'Nixie Tubes' and 'Simulation Helper'. After I uninstalled 'Nixie Tubes', the game is working fine!

Thanks
