[1.1] Cannot build anything

[Zone]

Here is a link to the log dump.

I've encountered a problem where whenever I would place an object, it gives me a NullReference error. I do not understand code, but I believe this means the button does not match the object, or the object has disappeared?

When I try to place walls, for example, it shows the item cost and such but the gray highlights that usually come with it are gone, invisible. This also applies to objects. The pawns themselves are alright, being able to shoot and such, but I cannot build.

This bit of code is the culprit, and I have tried to decipher it but to no avail. It does not tell me which mod is the problem, and it repeats itself whenever I try to place something.

Hi,
yep error msg. rarely give a hint about what mod cause them.
But at your case the word "Sketch" is unusual, i didn't notice them before at an error (but i can be wrong).

Now your work is to check the mod if you know/see any "Sketch", maybe use a search at the mods folder about "sketch" any results beside maybe Core could point at the mod.

Other way is to check if the problem appear on a new colony from the beginning too.
You can use hugslib quickstart feature to create pretty fast a test colony (developer mode on, then the top right icon).
If the problem appear on a new colony too, disable mods and test it again until it works and you narrow down the mod.

[Zone]

I'd do that, but steam mods don't show up in my 'Mods' folder. It's been this way ever since I bought the game, but I didn't pay it mind. I did some searching and I found a similar error report that was caused by a hauling issue. I'm looking for error logs similar to mine and if I get another hauling-related incident I'll remove the haul-related mods andd see how it goes from there.

[Zone]

Fixed it! The problem WAS hauling-related, and I narrowed it down to 'Best Mix' not playing nice with a stockpile mod. I'm leaving this here as literature for the next one who encounters this problem: hauling-related.

[Canute]

You should report it to the mod author, so he is aware of that issue.

[karldandleton]

I'm having this exact same issue, and removing hauling-related mods hasn't fixed it.
My mod list (in order):

HugsLib
EdB Prepare Carefully
Prisoner Harvesting
RimHUD
Tilled Soil
Moody
Wall Light
[FSF] Complex Jobs
Interaction Bubbles
Blighted Alert
Replace Stuff
Simple Sidearms
Realistic Rooms
Predator Hunt Alert
Expanded Prosthetics and Organ Enhancements
Dubs Mint Menus
Misc. Training
RT Fuse
[KV] RimFridge - 1.1

I get the same bit of code but also receive subsequent errors:

any help would be really appreciated. Thank you


EDIT:
The mod causing trouble is Replace Stuff. I've added my other mods back in and it seems to be working fine without this one. I've also tested it with only the HugsLib and Replace Stuff mod enabled; the issue still occurs. I will reach out to the mod creator

EDIT #2 because I'm linking this forum post to the steam bug discussion on the workshop page.

FULL STACKTRACE (with only HugsLib and Replace Stuff enabled):

It's pretty much the same as above but I included the previous lines in the trace.

Issue with HugsLib/HarmonyLib 2.0.0.7 update. Await a fix from that end.

[Tynan]

Yep, there's been issues between Harmony and some other mods recently, namely Replace Stuff.

Leaving this open for now so others can find.
