Great game, loving the expansion,

When modding old large mods, if a recipe contains an unspecified 'fluid' the game crashes and gives you the following error message attached.

The message informs that the "quality mod" (great work) cannot complete its creation of a recipe (reading between the lines!) The issue is on large mods there is little way of working out where. the log file is empty and message ambiguous.

I have included the 30 second fix that helps when fault finding the issue raised, outputting to the "factorio-current" log file, etc.

Quite often when testing old mods, it helps to disable all other mods, including space age mods and the quality mod.
In my case I found the Quality error to be a false positive.
Testing and debugging my mod this way helped a lot.
Once I verified my mod worked with the other mods disabled, it worked fine without errors when re-enabling Space Age and Quality mods.
