Just went through my mod list one item at a time, trying to figure out what in my pack was causing the world not to load, and can confirm that Binnie's Mods cause the game to stop loading on world gen, right when the log typically states "Preparing Spawn Area".
I have also confirmed that it is Binnie's Mods and not forestry which causes this.

Is this still an issue?

Shouldn't this be closed and merged into #448?
