Issue #36174: MineOreScript: Cannot call Activate() / goToDepletedState() on a None object

Note: Assuming this isn't nonsense, it could be a vanilla script issue. I encountered the same exact thing in Runoff Caverns (Forgotten Season CC DLC) where the veins were all empty in the dungeon upon entering it for the first time. Maybe that's deliberate in this case (in Raven Rock mines) though. I don't seem to recall the veins while exploring the mines during the Final Decent last time I played this DLC. That was a several years ago now, so maybe something changed.

Correction to one of the sentences in my comment above so it actually makes sense:
I don't seem to recall the veins being empty while exploring the mines during the Final Decent last time I played this DLC.

Also:
I accidently put this report under placed references.

It should be noted that the FormID is only one of the many veins in the mine that are throwing these errors.

And one more thing: the stalhrim deposit in the mines wasn't empty and could be mined just fine.

Not sure why I didn't realize this immediately, but the dialogue in the game is rather clear that the mine had completely run dry, not just ebony. From reading several sources, people claim that the veins are empty until the mine reopens, which I guess, if true, would make sense.

It appears to be because 0401EF88 and 0401AF5F don't have mining furniture markers assigned as linked refs. Try this?

That did fix the issue with those two nodes being empty. It appears that every one of them in the cell will throw the same errors. Does it seem odd to you that they're all missing linked furniture markers? I'm trying to figure out how this could have gone unnoticed for so long.

The following list is probably all of them unless I've missed a few others somewhere.
0401B010, 0401B011, 0401EF7A, 0401EF7B, 0401EF7C, 0401EF7D, 0401EF92, 0401EFA5, 0401EFA6, 0401EFA7, 0401EFC3, 0401EFF4, 0401EFF5, 0401F050, 0401F051, 0401F052, 0401F053, 0401F055, 0401F056, 0401FA52, 0401FA53

Assuming it's not intentional for some odd reason, my guess is because the dungeon has a bunch of ores that enable/disable based on quest progress and someone lost track of which ones needed what.
