Have you tried this?

Tried it, doesn't really do anything

Hi Rawr

I had a look at your files. 

the planarization tool is powerful, but it is impossible to just turn whatever input geometries into planar surface. Your have to start with a more reasonable smooth pattern (getting rid of that sharp pointy end for example) 

1. Solution exception:Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

this is caused your sharp end as well, because it comes to a point at the end, so it creates some zero length lines in your pattern therefore causing referencing problem in Kangaroo.

Finally, do not flattern your point data structure for planarising force, the vertices of each hexagon should be within the same branch.

I've uploaded update files.
