I have never tested this mod in multiplayer so there could certainly be issues specific to that I am unaware of. I am not entirely sure why this crash happens but I will include a potential fix in the next patch. I would be grateful if you let me know if it works or not.

I've had a dig into it too as i found it a bit weird. This seems like this is an Space Exploration issue actually, When a Space platform was destroyed it was still kept in game.surfaces for some reasons, which i belive should be a simple fix to check if said surface still exists/checking for nil.

We've Decided to take the Colony out for now in favor for the Cerys Planet, which sadly isnt compatible with colony builder, so i sadly cannot test it, but i thank you for providing a fix for it (or atleast for the other Folks out there using this)

I have crash in single player mode vanilla plus your mod. It happened after i set recipe to my first home and closed window:

The mod Colony Builder (0.2.3) caused a non-recoverable error.
Please report this error to the mod author.

Error while running event ColonyBuilder::on_gui_closed (ID 97)
Unknown entity name: colony-chu1-composite-decrepit-bottom-nauvis
stack traceback:
[C]: in function 'find_entity'
ColonyBuilder/script_libs/script-colony.lua:676: in function 'composite_entity'
ColonyBuilder/control.lua:359: in function <ColonyBuilder/control.lua:357>

Try'ed again and get similar error...
Then taked house and placed in other place, now error is gone.

Hopefully this issue is fixed in the latest patch.
