That was a feeble attempt at humour: batteries almost empty - open tubes - batteries totally empty - computer crashes. Guess I have to work on my jokes
Sorry, I've suffered my share of CTDs and - playing a steam version - my approach if it happens too often is to return to base, uninstall the mods, run the game via steam online, go offline again, re-install the mods. Takes an hour, but it's working.
