Playing on 9.0.2, when I started to burn wood in a Gas Grill for Charcoal, I ran into this error:
2023-08-15T12:27:29 208.082 ERR [XUi] Error while updating window group 'workstation_cntGasGrillOpen':

This keeps looping forever. If I quit and restart the game, I instantly start getting the NullReferenceException in a slower loop again, but apart from that, the game seems to run normally. When I open the Gas Grill GUI, the quoted error again occurs in a very fast loop.
Edit: I managed to destroy the Gas Grill, which also eliminated the error. But now I realize that my save must be corrupted somehow. Whenever any workstation contains any produced item, the "NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object" comes back. ☹️
Also getting this:

Edit 2: So I realized this has to do with the Improved Hordes mod and copied the latest beta 2.0.0-beta.4 over the version bundled with Ravenhearst. This seems to fix it for good.
