Using either CC 0.0.554.0 or 0.0.557.0, and either MalisisCore 5.0.0 or 5.1.1, the game refuses to start because it says "MalisisCore 5.0.0 or earlier not detected".

Oops, that's a small mistake. Instead of [5.0.0,) I have [,5.0.0)

in the meantime you can run the mod without malisiscore, you just won't have access to custmization gui.
