So, it looks like all of my problems were from people using @EXPERIMENT_DEFINITION[*] when they shouldn't have. Removing the [*] every time it showed up next to @EXPERIMENT_DEFINITION seems to have fixed everything up as far as I can tell with basic testing. Thanks to Aelfhe1m, sarbian, and blowfish for taking time to help me figure it out. I've let the mod authors' for the impacted mods know.
