Breaking Ground: Unable to scan surface features due to NRE

[infinite_monkey]

Playing a new career with a lot of mods installed, particularly Kerbalism and JNSQ. I'm close to a Baobab tree, but I'm unable to scan it with the CRSY Light Scanning Arm. It always complains about being stationary. Logs are suggesting that updating the UI fails due to some NullReferenceException:

What are your thoughts? Do you think a mod is to blame? Is it my vessel (currently a Lynx rover from Feline Utility Rovers)? A bug in BG?

Maybe your craft isnt close enough there is some problem with the tree or the arm

Or the mods you are using

So if you are playing on 1.7.3, that's probably the issue. JNSQ is set up for the initial release of BG. There was an update to KSP/BG and the names of the scatter objects changed. The current release of JNSQ is not set up for those changes. However, you can download the master file from GitHub which does make those changes and plays fine with BG. 

An actual update for JNSQ is just around the corner, but in the meantime, I'd recommend the master file.

Just tried the new version, unfortunately it didn't help. Has the issue/fix been confirmed? Do I need a new savegame for it to work?
