Yeah so I didn't think to write down the code (my bad) but based on how you said this works, I have a fair idea what happened, and probably not worth fixing, but probably worth putting a big asterisk in the usage information.
I generated a new world, by accident, thinking I was going to another one. Went "oh crap". Hit the delete world button (don't want biters evolving for no reason). Game crashed - unrecoverable error in this mod.
