Description
I just updated Mineclonia from 0.120.1 to 0.121.1 and got this:
2026-05-07 21:30:00: ERROR[Main]: ModError: Failed to load and run script from /data/worlds/dritte-erde/worldmods/pipeworks/init.lua:

Research direction
Start with mcl_furnaces.lua at line 15, then inspect how it is loaded from init.lua at line 106. Reproduce the failure with Mineclonia 0.121.1+ and Pipeworks commit fe55ac970ce24789e2d51f224535ed20d933fea3; done means Pipeworks loads without the reported nil-value error.
