Wrong title, should be "don't name your global table 'util'"

apparently this conflicts with the util that comes with the game by default, causing incompatibilities with other mods.

looks like any mod that starts with a letter after v would crash the game when using util in data-final-fixes

Thanks for reporting!

My use of util is

• declare util in scripts/util.lua as local and return it.
• require scripts/util.lua in other files and assign the return value to non local util. (scripts/restore-items.lua#L1 / scripts/restore-recipes.lua#L1
  / scripts/restore-techs.lua#L1)

So declaring such non local util as local would fix the issue. correct?

Seems so, but I don't have a computer right now to test it out, sorry for that

After adding local the game doesn't crash now. I'm definitely not a fan of lua requiring 'local' as a keyword instead of something like 'global'.

Fixed in 0.0.3.
