    • @salendrak

      It might be that the mods are in the wrong order. Libraries like Harmony (and of course the Core mod - which is the game itself basically) have to be loaded first. Try hitting the "Auto-sort mods" button below the mods list and see if that helps. If it doesn't, I think there is also a mod that will figure out the right order for your mods, but I can't remember what it's called off the top of my head.

      I'm sure there probably are, though I've never found it to be a problem depending on the biome of the map.

It's all part of the learning curve I suppose!
