Summery:
Crash upon opening recipes user interface caused crash when reconnecting to server 100% of the time.

Hi, I hope this isn't a known issue and is something the can be resolved, I did search but was unable to find anything relevant to the issue in hand.

So I have been playing on a friends dedicated server recently. He upgraded to 0.15.29 from 0.15.28 today. Now the first time I connected I was able to connect fine and move around. Then when I clicked the button to open the recipes user interface the game crashed with an error message stating it had crashed and asking if I wanted to view the log file (attached as it contains a stack trace for an unexpected error). As a result of this crash I am now no longer able to connect to the server in question again. The game simply crashes in the same way immediately after "Catching up".

For more detail, I only had one blueprint of my own shown in the user interface (from 0.15.28) which was simply a 5x5 area of concrete. Other then that the only other recipes were those of my friend.

I've asked for a copy of the save data, or a public link you can use to download it should you need but I am still waiting on a response to that request.

EDIT (after thoughts on relevant details):
I have reinstalled the game, and verified local files as well as deleting locally stored app data and disabling steams cloud sync without any luck for this issue. So I can only assume its something that occurs in combination with something that has changed in the data stored server side.

EDIT (again):
Friend just got back to me with a link to the save data:

So Jobe and I play on the same server. I was able to connect until I opened the blueprint UI. Once I did I can no longer connect.

Updated to 15.30 and I can now open the blueprint book again. Waiting for Jobe to wake up and try it out.

I can confirm the issue in question has been resolved.

Upon successfully connecting I was presented with the recipe user interface as if I had clicked the button which suggests to me the server saved the fact I had that open.
