Hello a user of Exotic Space Industries: Remembrance reports an issue @ https://mods.factorio.com/mod/exotic-sp ... 20a7da1ffd where consistency check fails with an error after changing a startup setting since updating to mod version 1.2.41.

It's looking at this table and setting—

Pre 1.2.41—
{
name = "ei-tech-scaling-maxCost",
type = "string-setting",
setting_type = "startup",
default_value = "Default",
allowed_values = {"Sunday stroll", "Walk in the park", "Almost free","Very Cheap", "More Cheap", "Cheap", "Default", "Less Expensive","Expensive", "Very Expensive"},
order = "a1",
},
ei_data.tech_scaling.switch_table = {
["Sunday stroll"] = 207,
["Walk in the park"] = 415,
["Almost free"] = 831,
["Very Cheap"] = 1662,
["More Cheap"] = 3325,
["Cheap"] = 6750,
["Default"] = 12500,
["Less Expensive"] = 25000,
["Expensive"] = 50000,
["Very Expensive"] = 100000
}

1.2.41—
{
name = "ei-tech-scaling-maxCost",
type = "string-setting",
setting_type = "startup",
default_value = "Default",
allowed_values = {"Sunday stroll", "Walk in the park", "Almost free","Very Cheap","Default", "More Cheap", "Cheap", "Fairly priced","Less Expensive","Expensive", "Very Expensive"},
order = "a1",
},
ei_data.tech_scaling.switch_table = {
["Sunday stroll"] = 207,
["Walk in the park"] = 415,
["Almost free"] = 831,
["Very Cheap"] = 1662,
["Default"] = 2500,
["More Cheap"] = 3325,
["Cheap"] = 6750,
["Fairly priced"] = 12500,
["Less Expensive"] = 25000,
["Expensive"] = 50000,
["Very Expensive"] = 100000
}

Not personally sure how to solve this error or if it is solvable from this end.

Report in above linked mod portal post below here—

I updated to version 1.2.41.
I changed "Technology cost scaling ceiling" setting to "Default" from "More Cheap",
then failed game start.
At Consistency Check, following popup dialog is shown.

But I can start the game by restoring the setting (More Cheap).
