I was going through, adding mods based off of the Compatibility List to make a Combat Extended based play through, and kept getting a red error at startup.

Here is the full log:

And here is the error itself in question, when selected:

I posted this over in the Vanilla Faction Extended - Insectoids forums, and was told to come seek out assistance/report it to the Combat Extended team.

I'm not sure if there's an official platform for bug support, but figured I'd start here.

If there's a better place to report it, where would that be?
