I mean, as far as changelogs go in the modern day that's pretty darn descriptive. Even if it's the equivalent of a blank sheet of paper from Wube

Wube devs are so good, they can fix undiscovered bugs. They squash bugs preemptively.

Well after along hiatus from the game I decided to return. To my surprises and disgust I fond that the classic oil processing mod no longer works. Well the game is now just of those that no longer think, The dumbing down for the kids is now complete. So it is great reluctance and profound sadness ...

I think that's very misleading that this unofficial Discord server uses WUBE as a tag for their admins and they don't include "unofficial" word anywhere.
I think Wube should crackdown on use of their IP in such a manner.

Disclaimer, I am not using their Discord server, not interested.

Now we're talking.
Lets wait for some more attention from other people who may be familiar with this server and the situation.

If this is harmful to the brand, Wube could complain and get this unofficial server pulled out of Discord because they are imporsonating Factorio and using their ...

Cool story. However, It will remain a story until you share links, screenshots and other details. I have no idea what server and what Discord group are you talking about, so cannot help.

You can report it here. It wil bring some attention for sure, and maybe a resolution if required.

You forgot about most basic troubleshooting steps.

De-dust and clean the computer.
Re-seat both RAM sticks.
Reset BIOS settings. Upgrade BIOS if possible. Set RAM speed back to 3200 MT/s.
Do full memtest86+ run for several ...

What recipe require Quality foundation? Sorry, not in front of the game and PC and not able to check myself right now.

Noticed that also early on, on my first Space Age run. Built some higher quality Space Platform Foundation items as I didn't know what I was doing back then, realized they cannot be used anywhere under any circumstances. Ended up destroying them later on with a Recycler if I remember correctly.

Sounds like completely toasted Intel CPU, just like we all were saying in previous posts.

Bahahahaha you can't get me like that, pyanodons is way out of my league, I sunk a couple of months into bobs & angels, and a couple more into Nullius, neither of which I finished, and py is supposed to be way more complex. It's not the chemistry, I have a degree in chemistry, and although I haven ...

There are several Search results for Calculator :
RateCalculator does a great job, and is maintained by a Wube Software employee. Recommended!
Helmod is the most popular by Download count; I think it is too complex.
Recursive Resource Calculator helps determine how many machines you need to ...

Your CPU belongs to the Raptor Lake family, which has known issues that can lead to permanent hardware degradation under certain conditions. If you're experiencing frequent crashes, especially during gaming or high-load scenarios, your CPU may already be damaged. This is not an isolated case, it's a ...

Consider playing directly from downloaded version of the game, not through Steam which messes up syncing to the cloud. No Steam, no problem.

Install Pyanodons Modpack. You will not complain about finishing the game ever again.

PS. I am playing it. 44 hours in, not yet researched an Inserter or Splitter.

Do couple of hours of Memtest86+ (https://memtest.org/), to ensure memory is stable. RAM is used as a buffer for saved files, so the cause of CRC inconsistency can lie there.

Your CPU is from the Raptor Lake family. It may be affected by the known VMin Shift bug, which can cause permanent damage of the CPU.

Since you're experiencing crashes every few hours in Factorio, RMA the CPU ...

Alternatively, you can wait until GOG releases an offline update to a newer version, which you can install manually. I think - I have not practiced it since I bought Space Age directly (first Factorio game on GOG just like you).

But that's more burdensome than using Factorio account method.

GPU core should never hang, when it happens its usually software problem (Windows drivers) or hardware problem (overheat, permanent damage to the GPU, or power supply issue).

Few things come to mind:

See if you can reproduce this problem on Linux.
Test stability of your Nvidia GPU using Furmark ...

Your CPU is a Raptor Lake family. It may have been permanently damaged already, its a known bug.

Return the CPU in RMA warranty process, citing constant crashing in games.

If you can't return it, upgrade motherboard BIOS to the ...
