I'm no stranger to modding. But there are just somethings that confound me to no end. For example, I've been working on a few custom races, along with new crafting stations for all of them. One however has been giving me trouble for 3 years now (off and on). I'm trying to make a kiln. But my kiln hates Starbound for some reason. Code: [Error] Application: exception thrown, shutting down: (ObjectException) Error loading object '/objects/crafting/kiln/kiln.object': (JsonException) Improper conversion to JsonArray from string [0] 140ff1a Star::captureStack [1] 140ede8 Star::StarException::StarException [2] 1636c0e Star::ObjectException::format<Star::String,Star::OutputProxy> [3] 164147a Star::ObjectDatabase::readConfig [4] 1638f2f <lambda_f865b784c9d3b8c99e05d88d7341860d>::operator() [5] 1638d7b <lambda_14134e40edbd36ed41cde94b2512e796>::operator() [6] 1636efe Star::LruCacheBase<Star::OrderedMapWrapper<Star::FlatHashMap,Star::String,std::pair<__int64,std::shared_ptr<Star::ObjectConfig> >,Star::BlockAllocator<std::pair<Star::String const ,std::pair<__int64,std::shared_ptr<Star::ObjectConfig> > >,1024>,Star::hash<Star::String,void>,std::equal_to<Star::String> > >::get<<lambda_14134e40edbd36ed41cde94b2512e796> > [7] 163bbab Star::ObjectDatabase::getConfig [8] 154bea1 Star::ItemDatabase::addObjectItems [9] 1547628 Star::ItemDatabase::ItemDatabase [10] 170c414 std::make_shared<Star::ItemDatabase> [11] 1711263 <lambda_9e20283833e6c8933fef4c0f73c09b45>::operator() [12] 1704156 std::_Invoker_functor::_Call<<lambda_9e20283833e6c8933fef4c0f73c09b45> &> [13] 1706a56 std::invoke<<lambda_9e20283833e6c8933fef4c0f73c09b45> &> [14] 1704d16 std::_Invoke_ret<std::shared_ptr<Star::ItemDatabase>,<lambda_9e20283833e6c8933fef4c0f73c09b45> &> [15] 1712f2a std::_Func_impl<<lambda_9e20283833e6c8933fef4c0f73c09b45>,std::allocator<int>,std::shared_ptr<Star::ItemDatabase> >::_Do_call [16] 17117ca std::_Func_class<std::shared_ptr<Star::SpeciesDatabase> >::operator() [17] 1708d64 Star::Root::loadMemberFunction<Star::ItemDatabase> [18] 170706c Star::Root::loadMember<Star::ItemDatabase> [19] 1715ecb Star::Root::itemDatabase [20] 170435b std::_Invoker_pmf_pointer::_Call<std::shared_ptr<Star::EntityFactory const > (__thiscall Star::Root::*)(void),Star::Root * &> [21] 170672b std::invoke<std::shared_ptr<Star::CollectionDatabase const > (__thiscall Star::Root::*&)(void),Star::Root * &> [22] 1704b09 std::_Invoke_ret<std::shared_ptr<Star::VersioningDatabase const > (__thiscall Star::Root::*&)(void),Star::Root * &> [23] 17043cc std::_Call_binder<std::_Unforced,0,std::shared_ptr<Star::CodexDatabase const > (__thiscall Star::Root::*)(void),std::tuple<Star::Root *>,std::tuple<> > [24] 1703da4 std::_Binder<std::_Unforced,std::shared_ptr<Star::VehicleDatabase const > (__thiscall Star::Root::*)(void),Star::Root * const>::operator()<> [25] 1712a13 std::_Func_impl<Star::SwallowReturn<std::_Binder<std::_Unforced,std::shared_ptr<Star::PatternedNameGenerator const > (__thiscall Star::Root::*)(void),Star::Root * const> >,std::allocator<int>,void>::_Do_call [26] 140779e <lambda_7fe09c15515a3a4541ffd059be2af05d>::operator() [27] 1408252 Star::WorkerPool::WorkerThread::run [28] 140ce5c Star::ThreadImpl::runThread [29] 7552ed6c BaseThreadInitThunk [30] 77c7377b RtlInitializeExceptionChain [31] 77c7374e RtlInitializeExceptionChain I can't understand what's going on here. See, normally whenever I get an error, Starbound logs it and I can fix it. But this time... I can't seem to figure out where the error is. Usually it's like Code: got ",", expected "}" or something like that. I think it's the kiln's .config file, but recently everything looks fine. I've even recently triple-checked the .object file, and it also looks fine.

Maybe there's something minuscule that I missed? Edit: Small update- I'm having the same issues with another crafting table now, but for a separate mod. When it rains, it pours...
Sorry for the double post, but I figured it out! It turns out when I copied the config file from the tiered workbench, I neglected to remove the Code: "titleFromEntity" : true in the kiln's config. So note to future coders: if you're going to make a crafting table that won't be improved like the inventor's table (for example), don't include code for such an item in the .object file and the .config file.
