Thank you for the fix! I will test it as soon as possible.
Bon_Sombrero  [author] Apr 10, 2024 @ 2:34pm 
Alright now fixed!
Bon_Sombrero  [author] Apr 10, 2024 @ 12:06pm 
@Menos Oh i found the source of the trouble. It wasn't outdated API(that error shows up regardless of portable generator mod is exist or not.), I made mod used both 1.5 and 1.4 same xml, and it caused portable cooking table unusable(portable generators were working fine.) on V1.4 rimworld. I fixed the mod but applying it will take few more hours from now since I was middle of adding more contents for portable generators. Please allow me some time for fix it!

Using Rimworld 1.4 with Vanilla Expanded mods and Multiplayer mod. If your mod is in the list we get an error during start saying that an incompatible Multiplayer API is used (1.3 instead of 1.5). As soon as your mod is removed everything works fine.

@Menos VE? you mean Vanilla Expanded frameworks? I don't see any errors with VE...? Mind if I ask you which version of Rimworld you are using right now? 1.4? 1.5? little bit more detailed information may helpful for me to pin point what causing it.
