On a fresh install and without the cloud active and verifying game files I receive an error message while the game is loading that reads
Error loading Base Mod.
Error: tile prototype "empty-space" [tile] is missing
when I click on confirm the application closes.
Attached is a screen shot of the error received.
My expectation was for the game to launch as I have 1300 hours in the game

This is a modded game, so the first cause to rule out is a mod or group of mods doing something dumb. SearchlightAssault is the most likely among them to manipulate tile deifnitions, try removing it and see if the error goes away.

Not a bug. "empty-space" tile must be defined when space_travel feature flag is enabled, one of the mods enables space_travel feature flag and does not provide "empty-space" tile. It looks like if you update those mods, then all-armors-can-fly mod will have an extra dependency on enable-all-feature-flags and enable-all-feature-flags provides the "empty-space" tile making the game to load. Base game does not use space_travel and SA uses space_travel while also providing empty-space tile so this errors being shown in consequence of your mods composition. Update your mods.
