The error log would be here:
C:\Users\{Username}\AppData\Roaming\Surviving Mars\logs\
To see the AppData folder you'll need to enable View Hidden Items in File Explorer.

Does that screenshot correctly show what you are seeing, so only the central part of the main menu screen?

What I'd suggest is a full clean reinstall of the game:

- move any valued save games elsewhere; they are under
C:\Users\{UserName}\AppData\Roaming\Surviving Mars\{large number}\
- "uninstall" in Galaxy-Surviving Mars
- unsubscribe from ALL mods in the Paradox mods site
- manually delete both the Galaxy Surviving Mars AND C:\Users\{Username}\AppData\Roaming\Surviving Mars\ folders
- re-install game in Galaxy
- add MarsGog.exe to the exceptions list/whitelist of your antivirus app
- start the game with no mods active and test

In particular you need to make sure there are no files or folders left under either the Galaxy SM or AppData SM locations, before installing again.

If these are mods that have been updated to work with the latest game version by their authors, then I can't account for this - it is not happening to any of their other users so far as I know.

You mentioned above that disabling mods didn't help. If not, but a clean reinstall does, that would tend to imply this is something about the mod installation process. Are you subscribing to them in paradoxplaza.com/mods/ , or in the game, or manually installing them?

You don't need to make it, it's there already. I detailed the location in post #2 above, are you having some trouble following that?
