Crashes making my game unplayable

[SexyBear]

The game seems to crash at the same point in time. If I load an older save it takes longer to get to the crash. I imagine there's something in my factory that is causing this crash because it happens regardless of what I'm doing. The crash happens about 10 seconds after the attached autosave.

Here is the crash log file;
