Crash on world load after pump destroyed

[Derpford]

I was working on a large mincer when a creeper exploded near it. The creeper blew up a redstone pump, as well as many other things. I exited the world in frustration. When I re-entered the world, the game crashed with the following error:

Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException: Cannot invoke "com.neep.neepmeat.api.FluidPump.getMode()" because the return value of "com.neep.neepmeat.transport.fluid_network.node.FluidNode.getPump()" is null

I suspect something is storing the pump somewhere, then forgetting to check whether the pump exists later. On that note, I'm going to go scream into a pillow, because I was really enjoying this mod and having to start all over right before I was able to get a vascular network running is really frustrating.

I'm not sure how this happened. I can only reproduce this state by manually changing variables. Anyhow, but I have made FluidNodes with missing pumps fail silently.

It might be something to do with blocks being broken specifically by explosions? It's worth noting that most of my setup got blown up--there was at least one tank, a mincer, a trommel, and a couple of stop valves that were broken as well as the pump.

Thanks for getting on this so fast, though.
