What mods do you have enabled? I cannot seem to replicate this on my end. Nor do I understand how this error could come to be with how things are right now, other than other mod compatibility issues.

This is strange lol, I don't have the issue on my end running vanilla settings. With the way the mod works, this crash implies that the heat-pipe prototype does NOT have their max health defined. Which is an odd thing, especially because the vanilla heat-pipes do infact have their max health defined. I can add something in that would work around that, but I would definitely prefer to figure out what is causing the issue
Edit: Actually you both have underground heat pipes enabled. It appears that mod creates extra heat pipe prototypes, without the health defined, which leads to the error you are getting
Let me know if this fixes your issues. It works on my end now
the game loads, and so does my save file, so it looks like that was it. Thanks for tracking this down so quickly!
No problem, thanks for the help finding the issue
