How can I know what's crashing my game?

[Rav3n]

I have quite a few mods installed and every hour or so the game will crash and quit to steam. How can I be sure of which mod is crashing the game?

Some ideas :
-search for errors in the logs about mod loading at game launch
-read the error logs after crash (steamApps/Ludeon/Rimworld/RimworldWindata/output.log) to see if some mod ressource is mentionned
-go to AppData/LocalLow/Ludeon/Rimworld/Config, open Prefs and set <pauseOnError> to "True" , if the game now pause instead of crashing open the ingame developpment console from Options during this pause and search for the error in the logs (not the best method : will only work if the game crashed because of a repeated error creating an endless loop, also you may get a lot of pauses due to minor errors that wouldn't have crashed the game)
-if still no clue uninstall mods one by one and see if the crash still occurs untill you find the mod that was triggering it

I don't even know what I'm looking for in the error logs. There are a lot.

If there's a lot, you probably have a bad load order or outdated mods. What you need to look for are anything that can tell you WHICH mod is throwing the error (usually it'll be the name of the mod or the name of mod-specific resources).

Seems to be rimstory. I've disabled it and I haven't had any trouble since. I see now that Rimstory requires to turn off funerals in the psycology mod, but I haven't had any funerals so I don't see how this would cause a problem. I'll try turning on psycology and disabeling funerals to see if it helps.
