Mod Conflict found "Timesaver for crafting"

After updating many mods, including SE, was getting a startup crash because of mods. Checked the logs and got the following output where the crash started.

["space-factorissimo-updated"] = "1.0.2",
["timesaver-for-crafting"] = "0.8.4",
["zk-lib"] = "0.12.1"
