when trying to start the Von Neumann scenario this error pops up and the game won't load. I think maxfire in the other thread has the same issue, at least my log and notice look the same as his (https://imgur.com/a/YXAsBGj, his screenshot).
my log:

awesome mod btw, since I don't want to play without it I'm going to fiddle around a bit and see if I can fix the issue

just tested it, 0.18.13 breaks the mod, 0.18.12 works fine. looks like it's the changes to "logistic robotics" research. logistics/trash slot researches got merged to one for each and our now included in logistic robotics. I don't know if that's all though, I couldn't get it to work

I've got an answer on github. Here it is:

"abaines commented 7 days ago
I've only tested this on like ~0.18.2 version, and haven't tested/updated it for 0.18.x since then. Until 0.18.X is nearly as popular as 0.17.79, I probably won't be updated for it. Managing two versions is too much work. Sorry!

I would accept a PR if it was backwards compatible with 0.17.79."

Thanks @Lustwaffel and @maxfire.
