[0.17.79] Crash loading save after disabling mod (TargetDeserialiser::loadRegisteredReferences)

[LordAn77]

Currently dabbling with a Bob & Angel set-up that includes the "ScienceCostTweaker Mod (mexmer)" mod. When disabled that mod and load my save game that included it (without using the mod sync button), Factorio crashes on load.

Loading the save file with ScienceCostTweaker mod disabled reliably crashes on load. Re-enabling the mod allows me to load it just fine.

Thanks for the report.

This has been already fixed for 0.18.0: 78550
However I do appreciate you reporting this, because were seeing these crashes in the automatic crash log collector for many weeks before first person reported it, but from just the crash log we had no idea how to reproduce it or even what could cause the problem.
