Help with B9 Part Switch and Simple Construction

I need some help. I do not know where to go for mod support, so I came here.

Bug recreation steps:
I uninstalled all other mods to make sure the bug wasn't caused by other mods.
I installed simple construction (which has B9 Part Switch as a required addon) using CKAN.
I started KSP.
During the loading screen, B9 PS pops up with a box saying:

B9PartSwitch has encountered a fatal error and KSP needs to close.
Fatal exception while loading fields on module ModuleB9PartSwitch on part
Exception while loading field subtypes on type B9PartSwitch.ModuleB9PartSwitch
Exception while loading fields on subtype PartSubtype RocketParts
Exception while loading field tankType on type B9PartSwitch.PartSubtype
No tank type named 'SCRocketParts' exists

Then it gives me a button to quit the game.

I think this is something the mod developers need to look at since CKAN installs all other mods without error.

Hmm, B9 Part Switch isn't listed as a dependency from what I can see...

My mistake. But in order to have storage space for, say rocket parts, I need B9 PS to change an ore tank into a rocket parts tank.

Interstellar Fuel Switch isn't working for me either. Configurable containers hasn't been updated for 1.9 KSP.

I'll download and have a snoop.

Actually, decided to check the github quickly. Do you have the Community Resource Pack installed?

The patch to apply a tank type of SCRocketParts needs both Community Resource Pack and Simple Construction to be installed.

I thought I did. I will check.

I am being told by CKAN that I did not have community resources. I looked for it and it is yet to be updated for 1.9. I hope an older version won't hurt anything.

You may encounter other errors but the one mentioned in the OP should be resolved through this at first glance.

It is now saying:

B9PartSwitch has encountered a fatal error and KSP needs to close.

It fixed(?) the rocket parts issue, but now I am getting a different fatal error.

This might need some more information. Need to work out what KGEx stands for. What mods are installed right now?

Edit: Alright, can't say I'm surprised right now...

Probably has something to do with that.
