Help: Quest/Map Encounter disappears after caravan arrives

[CptEpicMcAwesome]

Hello,
I have a problem with loading into an encounter (didn't find similar online). I sent out a caravan to a psychic emitter quest location. When the Caravan arrives it says "generating map for new encounter" but then the location just disappears. At least it told me the emitter is now offline. Same with crashsite location (I think it's vanilla?).

I have like 100 mods but it was pretty stable and I never had this bug or almost never bugs at all. I added some new object and biospheres but the encounters are not new and they are located in wasteland biosphere, which I had no problems with in the past. Also tried to remove new mods, doen't work and I don't know how I messes with the save.

I love the game but never really finished it. Please help me to finish one playthrough and save the save or future colonies. Link below is the debug log. Thank you very much in advance.

The problems are not with the encounters (which are both not vanilla), but with the map generation. Removing mods during a playthrough can be pretty risky. You have some log spam that stuff is not findable.

The only mod thing I see in the map generation is VFECore which has been updated today, but I don't really know how that changes map generation.

Hey, thanks for looking into it. Well, I will see if I start new or probably wait a little longer. Maybe this helps. Two red errors appear when I get to the map generation. They say:

Yeah those are the same 2 that are at the end of your log posted in OP. Maybe someone who knows this stuff better will come around. All I saw was missing objects, but that probably does not mess up the map creation. Adding biomes and ruins stuff etc. could very likely lead to this, but I expected that to show up differently in your log.

Solved: I had to remove ReGrowth - Wastelands. The Biosphere the quests were located in. Tanks to you and legodude17
