The latest update seems to delete xy-biorecycling-research-data but other mods using it aren't updating.

Failed to load mods: Error in assignID: item with name 'xy-biorecycling-research-data' does not exist. It was removed by rubia-krastorio-compatibility-plus.

Source: unpack-cargo-crate-xy-biorecycling-research-data (recipe).

Does this need to be added to an updates file, or does Cargo Crates need to look at the updates?

Yes, I am aware of this issue. I will fix it very soon. It is caused by the load order of my mod.

Fixed

I am having a similar issue with the latest update this when trying to load the game (as of 2026-05-22).

"Failed to load mods: Error in assignID: item with name 'xy-biorecycling-research-data' does not exist. It was removed by rubia-krastorio-compatibility-plus.

Source: biorecycling-research-data (recipe).

Mods to be disabled:
• rubia-krastorio-compatibility-plus (1.2.3)"

For me, I believe the conflict is with "xyrc's K2SO Enhancements (Null's Fork)" as when I disable it, the game loads without issue.

I think that other mods in your modpack (that automatically add recycling, packaging, etc.) likely generated recipes that used the deleted item as an output.
I’ve updated the mod, and that will hopefully fix the issue. Please download the latest patch and let me know if it works now.

Updated and now working without issue.

Thank you for the prompt response and fix!
