Crash when starting

[aristosatai02]

I am having a crash error when "building prototypes" it reads "error in assignID, item with name 'steel-pipe' does not exist. I first got this error trying to fix something else by uninstalling bob's logistics. I have verified files with steam, I have also uninstalled and reinstalled the game multiple times and deleted game files through steam. When starting after a free install it still loads all the bobs mods and other mods I've installed which seems weird to me since I thought I had completely uninstalled everything. I have tried to find the data log like the wiki says but am unable to find it on my computer. Please help.

steel-pipe is defined in bobs logistics, if you remove bobs logistics you don't have steel-pipe anymore. Any mods that don't have a dependency on bobs logistics but require stuff from bobs logistics will throw errors if they are not coded around this
if data.raw.item["steel-pipe"] then
--steel pipe exists do stuff here.
end

If you don't know which mod is giving this error start by removing mods 1 by 1 until it goes away.

the logfile can be found by going to start->run and typing in %appdata%/factorio/
However in this case the logfile won't tell you much, .15 will have improvments to reporting of these kinds of mod related errors.
in the same folder will be a mods directory where you can go in and remove the mods in question manually
This also will be improved in .15
