Yes, the game auto saved without throwing an error, however when saving manually error popped up stating a corrupted save.

However loading the auto save and then waiting past the time the last save corrupted a new save was not corrupted.

The game was running well when a message appeared stating that the game save was corrupted and that a new save would not work. After message game was still running well, however on saving the game and then trying to load the save factorio crashed. The corrupted save is not the biggest deal as there ...
