[11.8] Crash on substation place

a crash log
After trying to recover from this topic: https://forums.factorio.com/forum/vie ... =30&t=7786
I have removed the underground belts and attempted to rid of all the deconstructed items. I believe i have cleared out all of them and i let the game run 5-10 minutes after, And it ran smooth and fine.
But now i am trying to place substations where i am upgrading the splitter/unloading layout.

When i place the 12th substation in the locations circled in this screenshot: http://puu.sh/e54SN/63a325dc0a.jpg the game instantly crashes before the graphics for the final substation appear.

I have tried to place more substations, and then save and load that game, But those saves end up crashing the game on load.
I have tried to remove all of the inserters for the unloading station, save the game, and then place all of the substations, which still caused the crash, and then that save crashes on load.

Save before placing the substations: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/143 ... erRso9.zip (i left you 12 substations top left of the first unloading station :p)
Save before placing the final substation: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/143 ... erRso7.zip
Save after removing the inserters: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/143 ... erRso8.zip

Hello, the problem is that the save is corrupted because of the problems in 0.11.8 https://www.factorio.com/blog/post/fff-67.

The problem is solved, but the save is not recoverable unfortunately, I'm sorry for the trouble, but this is what experimental release is for.

P.S. I'm able to load the first save, so it is not so bad after all, you can just continue using that save once 0.11.9 is out.

The bug was not being able to load the 2nd and 3rd save, it was placing the substations where the screenshot shows in the first save.

I understand. I just wanted to say, that at least you don't lose your factory when you still have the 1st save.

oo, you are saying the corruption is part of that? Gotcha, thanks.
