    Hello Again!

    I'm having an issue with one of my mods, *somewhere* causing an error that reads as follows:
    "Caused by: (JsonParsingException) Error parsing json: bad array, should be ',' or ']' at 8:5"

    What it does is cause tenants to explode and die when I interact with a colony deed to make them come home.
    Whole errorlog here on pastebin. Something is going wrong in the "/npcs/bmain.lua" and/or "/scripts/actions/dialog.lua" and/or "/dialog/arrivedhome.config:beacon", but I have no idea what mod is making the edits.

    Is there any possible way to parse what mod is causing this? I have over 200, and I tried subscribing to all ones that directly claim to be improving/editing NPCs or Tenants, but none of the ones I tried fixed the problem.

    If anyone knows any good techniques for finding out which mod(s) are causing this, please let me know!

    EDIT:
    Long story short, there is no easy way to check, but through trial and error I found out it was the Asari Race mod of all things.
    Easy to get rid of cause I just threw it in my modpack on a whim, and didn't end up using.

    Definitely something to do with tenants, although that doesn't mean the mod is centered around tenants.
    I found an error though from this mod which coincidentally or no is a patching error that also involves 2 tenant files - not the same one that's crashing you though. But it could well be the same mod unless that's a coincidence.

    Bad news is that mod hasn't updated in a long time and I wouldn't count on it getting fixed. You can all the same provide that log on their workshop page.

    I’ll unsub and see what happens!
    Honestly I don’t mind what mod is causing it, its really detrimental to the gameplay so even if it ends up being my favorite mod I’ll have to unsubscribe.
    I just want to find out which one it is

    It seemed like the cleanest, most out of the way system to get the errorlogs out there. >w< I'm glad websites like pastebin exist!

    I also found the offending mod by the by, just by trial and error. It was the Asari Race Mod on the steam workshop. ^^;
