i don't know if its just this mod or i removed a seperate mod aswell while testing, but i've found that in my singleplayer and multiplayer game, when i start with the default setting of "remove belts" (dont remember exact wording, but no more placing belts), it removes the logistics research from the game (but doesn't look like it fixes the prerequisites of stuff), which means i cant get the railway research. starting a new game with "remove belts" disabled has no issues with the research tree, but disabling the setting in the problem games doesn't bring back the research so i can't get railways.
