Hello all, I've been working on a mod that will include several new races, I've got a pretty good understanding how things work when adding new content, but I've seem to hit a major road block.  The game crashes when I load in the mod i'm working on and the error message says no cross reference for BaseOrk.  Here is the race that I created, don't mind some of obvious things such as still using the mechanoid as the art.

I've spent a entire day trying to figure out what I've done wrong.  Also if your wondering what the mod is, its a 40k mod. Any 2d artist who want to help out are more than welcome, already finished most of the imperial weapons, just need to make the armors and alien bodies  .

Hello, so I've decide to try modding out rimworld, my first mod I was planning on just being a weapons mod with a new arsenal of weapons.  I'm no stranger to coding and although the modding wiki is a bit outdated and could use a little loving. I was able to figure out how to create a weapon, the main problem now, is the texture.  When I load the mod, on the debug screen, it says "Could not load UnityEngine.Texture2D at Thing/mode texture location in any active mod or default location".  I also have another error saying "Matform with null Sourcetext" I have no idea if these two errors are related or not. 

I made the 2d texture using paint.net I converted the file into a DDS and used DTX1, I then put the texture in my mod folder, in the folder labeled as Textures.  The texture is a 64x64 with the same resolution.  I'm sure I made a noob mistake, any advice or answers to my problem would be highly appreciated  .
