Error loading a saved game (nothing changed)

[zomb1]

Hi, I am not sure if this is the right topic but as i could not locate the mod responsible for the error..
this is my second savegame where after playing for a long time (6-7 hours) i go to bed and next day it does not load.. first i thought i have something in my modlist, but this time as far as i can tell there were no problems..  In the game session i did not load , so it is possible that it also happens after 1 minute of gameplay.. will test that now..
this is the log:

Turns out it is the "[A17] Mines - balanced mining" mod... it was not the latest version where the author fixed this issue..
But now that i know the problem.. how do I solve it.. is it possible to still use this save somehow with a removed/updated mod?

It is possible to rescue the save file. Most probably you have the bill somewhere that uses the nonexistent recipe.

1. Back Up your save file
2. open in notepad++
3. find : <bills><li Class="Bill_Production"><recipe>Excavate_Plasteel</recipe><allowedSkillRange>0~20</allowedSkillRange><ingredientFilter><disallowedSpecialFilters /><allowedDefs /><allowedHitPointsPercents>0~1</allowedHitPointsPercents><allowedQualityLevels>Awful~Legendary</allowedQualityLevels></ingredientFilter><repeatCount>1</repeatCount><targetCount>10</targetCount><repeatMode>RepeatCount</repeatMode><storeMode>BestStockpile</storeMode><unpauseWhenYouHave>5</unpauseWhenYouHave></li></bills>
4. replace with <bills/>

Should work after this
