Launching with only quirkycat_base fails at quirkycat_base/data-updates.lua:106 attempt to index field 'turbo-transport-belt' (a nil value)
Enabling SA works around it, as does (saving my hopes for starting an SA-less run today that includes your mixed up approach to base ores), https://mods.factorio.com/mod/TurboBelt
Clearly not a high priority, especially with that turbobelt mod as a workaround, but wanted to make note of the issue (and that there is a workaround).
