Ah, well that makes things a bit simpler.
The error is very explicitly caused by Space Age Galore, "cleaning" the ice-melting recipe by removing its order and subgroup, for some reason. I can't say I understand why, but that does make things rather annoying, since I can't rely on the ice-melting recipe to set a proper order for the fluid-melting recipes. At least now I have a point of reference to work on fixing things...
EDIT: I've asked the mod author about the issue, since I'm not entirely sure the order property needed to be removed, and any potential fix will depend on if they will update their mod to not remove the order property, since that would solve the error from their end, instead of mine.
