@cruentus or anyone else.

I attempted to rename black-transport-belt to basic-transport-belt and I end up with the exact same error except it now says item with name 'basic-transport-belt' does not exist instead.

Something else appears to have changed between bobs logistics 16.17 and 16.18 that ...

I originally thought it was an issue with the latest version of bob's warfare because it happened after i updated to 0.16.1. Turns out its an issue with Explosive Excavation and Factorio 0.16.17 and 0.16.18. You'll have to get Factorio 0.16.16 or remove Explosive Excavation.
