Crash during Settlement Generation

[a-ivanov]

Playing MetalRenegades in Singleplayer. Just travelled around the world, no interaction whatsoever. Then the game suddenly crashed:

Hi @a-ivanov
Thanks for reporting that!
When you travel through a MetalRenegades world, settlements will be spawned for you to explore.
Looks like there's a bug in the settlement generation.

Right now we're still busy with reviving our engine, so I don't know yet when we'll get to investigating this, but it's great that you found and reported it 💚 This way it can be picked up by any interested party meanwhile or we can pick it up once we get back to gameplay/module work
