I get this error when I am trying to load the game. I'm completely clueless as to what it means. I am playing with a decent handful of mods, space exploration is the main one. can anyone help?

Entity Direction determines where an object is pointing. Index 36 is not used.... but is exactly 32 away from 4 (which I think corresponds to East?). This could indicate that a Memory Corruption has occurred on your system while saving the game.

Try loading a previous Savefile, and/or upload it here so others can take a look to see if it can be fixed.

here's the file, did some troubleshooting but didn't find anything. I agree that its probably a bit flip, but I have no idea how to find it then un flip it.

I looked at this save and it appears to be a memory bit flip. After adjusting this value from 36 into 4, i looked at the entity it is related to (`bulk-inserter` on `nauvis` at [gps=-952.5,169.5]) and it appears to be consistent with other entities nearby.
