Mod compatibility with mods that significantly change the structure of the game is currently a WIP for the next time I work on the mod (maybe over winter break). I'm kinda surprised it even started up tbh.
Just to be clear though, you could technically still get boilers, so it was just an unreasonably large pain, not an actual logic error? Not that it matters, you shouldn't be forced to mine the chimney vents lol. Seems like yet another reason to turn off item randomization for nonrenewables as a setting.
