This makes no sense..

I'm getting an "unable to load techarea.txt" message with my mod.. nothing else, just this. After playing around for a while, I found that this entry # 1 causes a crash, where entry #2 does not. What gives? They are, content wise, IDENTICAL, only the order of the components differ.

Make sure you only have 1 space between each tech entry. I was getting a dozen or so errors with my techarea.txt file and it was because I had two spaces after one of the entries.

You misunderstood.. I was getting that error, and I cut out the ENTIRE FILE except for those two entries and the start/stop. The spaces between are the same in both cases, everything is the same.. but one causes a crash and the other doesn't (well, not counting SE4 complaining about the missing entries.. ;-) )
