I am having this error loading from a save file

You have two colonists called "NULL" with some loadouts. How did you come to have those colonists? events? dev commands?

[crazybmanp]

Its not dev commands, and i didn't notice any colonists that didn't have names, or people that should have joined that don't seem to be actual pawns on the map.

I have no idea how andy got two loadouts and how i have colonists called null.

Minor compatibility bugs(?) found: Rest and comfort bonuses from furniture (end table, dresser) seem to apply to normal beds and hospital beds, but not to guest beds or hi-tech hospital beds.

Also, gun complexes seem to have infinite ammo. I thought you should know since you seem to place high priority on having all weapons CR-compatible and balanced.

None of the stuff from MoreVanillaTurrets has ammo but they are necessary since you kind of need turrets at the start. I've already mentioned that several pages ago. I've seen that the comfort bonuses are applied to guest beds. Maybe the tooltip is not updated

Any idea how to make the Mending mod work? End of the load order, my colonists drop to the planet and stand forever. Near beginning, and it spawned mending tables everywhere there was a block. Not exactly advanced with troubleshooting mods.

If you have all those extra mods from above together with this pack, then something will surely conflict with Mending. I'm surprised you could add so many while still having everything in working order (to be honest, probably a lot of them are not, but it may be hard to find out if the incompatibilities are minor or well hidden). Try adding Mending after the last of the mods that deals with apparel, and before Combat Realism. Some further reordering might be required which I do advise against though... or simply try it without those extra mods (i.e. just use this pack as-is, with Mending before CombatRealism). Cannot make any promises of it working (roughly 90% it won't).

I surely haven't gone as overboard with my extra mods as the posted I quoted, though I do have 3-4 of them. Nothing created new errors at the end of the load order, so I'd deem it safe. Anywho, just loaded Mending directly before CR Core and got the standing issue again. Full error in attachment.

Edit: For information's sake, the mods I mentioned at the end of the load order are "Practise Target," "Pawn State Icons," "HaulIT," "Faster Sleeping Sickness Immunity," "ED-Personal Nano Shields," "ED-Personal Animal Shields," "Latta's A Dog Said," and "EdB Prepare Carefully."

Hey crusader, this is just a suggestion, but have you considered maybe making full-face helmets invisible? It's just a suggestion, and if you don't think it's a good idea, I understand.

But my reasoning is once you get to the point colonists start using power armor, my pawns all look like rainbow power rangers... I couldn't tell the gender, let alone who they are, if not for their nametags. And it's not like we can re-paint power armor to colour coordinate them for identification.

If you're (or anyone else reading this) are interested in it, just delete the following line from \Mods\CombatRealism\Defs\ThingDefs\Apparel_Hats.xml:

Code Select Expand

I'll update the info section on the main thread with this info, for whoever wants this I cannot forcibly impose this change because everyone has a different style of play etc. Thank you

So is there no help for the errors being reported, or is this pack just unstable and not guaranteed to save correctly?

For me it's very stable, same for many others - but everyone is free to play whatever they wish. I've never had those errors before and cannot reproduce them. Basically I was asking for more information about what happened that you got two NULL colonists (did they get abducted, did you send them on a mission etc) - and you cannot have 2 colonists with the same name/ID - in order to figure out what mod might be causing this. My guess is still CombatRealism(since it's related to loadouts), thus I've urged you guys to post in that thread and let the people there know, as well as post on Skullwag's CombatRealism GITHUB.

PS: like I said 1000 times already, I don't provide support for the mods as I am not a modder. Each mod has its own thread and author for a reason. The only support I can provide is at a general level.

PPS: also, don't expect a save to NOT be corrupted if you alter the mods' order or don't exit and reenter the game after opening the Mods menu.

I wasn't directed or asked to do anything.

From what I remember, "Prepare carefully" might be incompatible with some of the mods from this pack and probably with CR as well. Remove that and maybe "Pawn state icons" and try again. Also, move the EnhancedDevelopment mods to their "group" (i.e. after the other ED mods from the pack) just to be safe. Hopefully everything is ok with the rest of the mods you added (not sure but HaulIT could cause some issues too...).

I wasn't directed or asked to do anything.

I specifically wrote on the first post about how to report errors (now I added the part about CR since it seems to be causing problems - yet I still don't know what(if) you changed (anything) from a clean installation of this pack).
