Error on Planet Generation

[cerebralpolicy]

Hi I have really been enjoying the game. But for the past few weeks I have not been able to start a new game. It always fails to initialize a new planet.

Here's my error

Are you able to start a new vanilla game okay? As given how many mods you are using this is very likely to be a mods issue (the log seems to suggest that as well), and I've moved this to mods bugs for that reason (as support is mainly for people having issues getting the vanilla game to work).

If you can't start a new vanilla game without encountering errors then please perform a clean reinstall an try again (detail here: https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=4805.0). If you still can't start a new vanilla game even after a clean reinstall then please post a new log file from after that clean reinstall (this thread will be moved back to support in that case as well).

Are you perchance using "Mechanoids Extraordinaire"? I had been getting that same error for a while, and disabling that mod seemed to fix it. I think it has a conflict with Orion's Faction Discovery.
