Hey there, each time i try to start a new game with the latest build i get an error:

DEBUG : Error: line 48:72: no such item type

        "items": {
            "l": [ { "item": "cleaning", "chance": 50 }, { "item": "chem_home", "chance": 40 } ],

Yep, just met this error as well. It seems to only happen if you use world gen mods.

Yes, if you use any of the 3 build in worldgen mods (Locations, ect) the world will crash on load. All you have to do is create a world without those 3 mods for now. Not sure if there’s a workaround for a game in progress, aside from rolling back to a previous version.

You can also edit item_groups.json and add a plumber_gear item type with whatever in it as a workaround.

This looks like it should be fixed, now, assuming the only issue was the plumber_gear. https://github.com/CleverRaven/Cataclysm-DDA/pull/29728
