Good morning,

I was recently playing Space Age with these mods:

• "name": "base"
  "name": "elevated-rails"
  "name": "quality"
  "name": "space-age"
  "name": "AutoDeconstruct"
  "name": "Better_Starmap_Background"
  "name": "BottleneckLite"
  "name": "bricked-foundry"
  "name": "CleanFloor" *
  "name": "demolisher-compass"
  "name": "FilterHelper"
  "name": "flib" *
  "name": "MaxRateCalculator"
  "name": "molten-tungsten" *
  "name": "more-casting" *
  "name": "more-minimap-autohide-017" *
  "name": "PlanetsLib" *
  "name": "Rocs-Improved-Platform-Drag" *
  "name": "space-ship-notifications" *
  "name": "textplates",
  "name": "too-many-prods" *
  "name": "tungsten-axe" *
  "name": "visible-planets"

Most of the mods I had loaded from the beginning of the playthrough. The ones with asterisks were added shortly before the crashes started (the asterisks may not be comprehensive; I had added the mods and then didn't play for a while, so working off faulty brain). When I went to play this morning, I got a few minutes into the game before it crashed my entire PC. I then reloaded, and it crashed my entire PC again, I think on init. I got into the game a third time, played a bit, then it crashed only the game and spat out an error log. As far as I can tell, the actions I was taking in the game have no correlation between the three crashes. I'm assuming one of the mods is responsible, but I can't tell which offhand and I haven't yet tried to disable them one by one to figure it out. I'll probably start working on that now, but the three very different crashes suggests it might be something really wonky.

current log file and save game attached. Let me know if you need anything else.

If your PC is crashing, you need to check your hardware and drivers to find the problem. The game can't cause that. Likely you've got some failing hardware.

As mentioned, the computer crashing means your hardware or drivers are failing. The crash log also shows it crashing in a compltely random place that happens hundreds to thousands of times per second which means if it was faulty it would be crashing for a lot of people (and it's not.)

Thank you both for your input. I'll look into it more, but it's a brand new machine so may need to go back to the manufacturer for the warranty.
