hmm that's odd, well thank you for your help i will try play this one and i guess if it doesn't work ill reinstall factorio.

sorry for the late reply, here is the save file and if it helps any i do also have a copy of the map on a scenario but it gives the same error when i try play off of that save.

i haven't played factorio in a while and i was trying to play one of my old maps on version 0.12.35-0 and i get this error

...Data/Roaming/Factorio/temp/currently-playing/control.lua:1: module defines not found; no such file C:/Users/potato/AppData/Roaming/Factorio/temp/currently-playing/defines ...
