Hi,
I haven't investigated it fully, because frankly it's such a weird issue there is almost certainly something going on behind the scenes that is breaking it. I am 99% confident that this is a problem with the game engine, and not an issue with the individual mods.
Install these two mods:
https://mods.factorio.com/mods/ludsoe/moweather
https://mods.factorio.com/mods/folk/folk-shuttle

And you will get something like this error when you start a new game.
968.023 Error AppManager.cpp:421: __folk-shuttle__/control.lua:268 attempt to index a function value

Though the line number is probably different for the live version of folk-shuttle, this is not relevant. The relevant line in the code is something like:
require("lib-reset")(reset)

Now, unzip moweather 0.4.0, open control.lua, and comment out this line:
commands.add_command("dumpsettings","",function() game.write_file("MLCDump.txt", DumpScan(settings.runtime,0), false) end)
At control.lua, line 88

Start a new game, and the error is gone.

I get no such error when i load up the game with those 2 mods.

Is there something I need to do to make it happen beyond starting a new game?

That's weird, I get it immediately upon creation of a new game and it drops back to the new-game settings screen.

Please upload your mods. Maybe the ones off the mod portal aren't the same as the ones you're using.

They are, I just downloaded both mods from the portal and ran the game with those zips only before I captured the log I posted in the previous comment.

Ooookay, so I just cleared my mod folder so that only those two zips existed, and now there is no error.
That log was produced when all other mods were disabled.

It's this mod https://mods.factorio.com/mods/Optera/VehicleGrid
With only folk-shuttle + moweather existing in the mods folder, there is no error.
With those two + vehiclegrid either enabled OR NOT enabled, the error is there.

Which means this is probably relevant:
info.json from folk-shuttle

Still present in 0.15.13

I've found what's wrong but the fix will take some time to finish.

Disabled/inactive mods are effecting other mods sort order which in turn effects event order.

That sounds nasty. I imagine there can be cases where it doesn't create an error but simply displays wierd behavior because of the changed order.

(Mostly posting so i can find this report easier )

Ok, I actually found 3 bugs with this report

All 3 are now fixed for the next version of 0.15.
