[0.12.5][posila] Corrupted save?

[JMark1]

Hey guys,

Trying to load my save i keep getting this Notice:

Code: Select all

Deserialisation error, target with id 729 doesn't exist

I think my save file is corrupted. I did mess around with -root and maintenance modes on the FARL the day before, which might be related.

Yesterday:
My problems started yesterday, still on 0.12.4, but then it wasn't a notice, it actually crashed the game providing a lengthy log.. which in retrospect i should have saved
The autosaves would also crash the game, but the other saves worked fine

Today:
After updating to 0.12.5, that save now shows that notice. Other saves work fine.

I'm sending you the log below, and well as my save and mods folder
Hope you can help me

Hi, thanks for the report. This is basically duplicate of https://forums.factorio.com/forum/vie ... =7&t=15180 but we still have not figured out what is causing this problem. So far I have 3 saves corrupted this way. Corruption is in rail network and all saves use FARL, so I am getting suspicious about that mod . However, no mod should be able to corrupt save file (unless the mod tried really really hard, maybe), so there is some bug in Factorio clearly.

For now here is your fixed save https://www.dropbox.com/s/v1ldv84i1nj1r ... d.zip?dl=0

Thank you so much. Gonna get back to it with more backups this time

Hope you can fix it on your side

i bet all saves have the base mod enabled
More serious though: let me know if you find any clue of what FARL might do wrong, i'm not aware of anything bad. I have been loading saves with the player inside a active FARL without problems so far. As soon as a player leaves a FARL all rail references get deleted from global.
I'm guessing "dangerous" events are on_init, on_load and on_save?

"Luckily" ColonelWill, who streams Factorio on Twich had this issue too and we were able to find in VODs the event that caused it. It is when FARL in maintenance mode tries to destroy rail under another train. That throws an error, but game state is broken. So I am happy to announce the issue is fixed for the next release. It will still result in a error, but won't break the game state
(There was internal discussion what the behavior should be - should it throw an error, or destroy the rail and also the train standing on it ... so the behavior could change in the future)

Hey dylloop, here is your recovered save: https://www.dropbox.com/s/0q5ivfi19g37l ... d.zip?dl=0
Until 12.7 is released be careful with FARL -root and maintenance modes

Hi,

Will the new version fix old saves? My save attached became corrupted after using the FARL mod for the first time so I believe that it's related to this. 35 hours into my first bobsmod map and would be a bit disappointed to have to start again

Thanks.

[posila]

No, new version won't fix old saves. Your recovered save is attached. I couldn't find quickly "clock mod", so it is resaved without it ... hopefully it wasn't essential

[ginganinja]

Thanks, you're a legend. I will be more careful in the future when trying new mods. Clock mod isn't essential, it just adds what time of the game day it is.
