Well, it turns out that it was the components file that was creating the issue. The game doesn't seen to like the changes I made to the colony modules. I was trying to create a component that would be able to colonize any planet type that you have researched, as per
this thread. Resetting the components to normal and completely removing the "Omni-COlony" ones fixes the issue, but even leaving in versions of the 2- and 3-type components initiates the same error...you only start with the tech to colonize rock planets, regarless of your native type.
Here is the data-snippet of the most recent attempt:

I have changed the family numbers for the new components, and even moved them to the end of the file. I'm still at a loss, but trying. Do any of you data gurus (pretty much any one compared to me
) have an idea where I'm screwing up?
