Had same problem. Luckily it was not stream game and only a few hrs in so save delete was not very painful.

Hi, thanks for the report. This was another hard one ... we have finally figured out this can happen when save is created while certain blueprints are on belts. Unfortunately the save is corrupted in a way it can't be recovered easily. I am sorry :(

EDIT: Fixed for 0.12.8. (Corrupted saves won't work, thought)

Interesting. I wonder if it is transport belt or player belt. If the first one then I am safe for now unless I drop one by mistake.

Transport belt. If it have been the quickbar (player belt) it would happen much sooner :)

The thing is, that people usually don't put blueprints on belts, so we didn't encounter this sooner.
