[2.0.30][windows] Starting with failed to load mod elevated-rails

[Cirno09]

After I update the game automatically on Steam from 2.0.28 to 2.0.30 today, I can no longer start the game. To be more precise, whenever I start the game, the error message will pop up: "Failed to load mods: Mod elevated-rails requires Space Age expansion."

The suspicious thing is that the base game version is 2.0.30, but the space-age and elevated-rails mod are all 2.0.28. The mod window shows they are up-to-date, but I suspect they are not. I've tried to change the game version to 2.0.28, 2.0.32 in steam, only the base game version changed, not the space-age and elevated-rails mod version (they stayed at 2.0.28). And the same error message continuous to pop up. I've also tried reinstall the game, but nothing changes.

The log file is as follow:
