Factorio Forums

Hi!
I loaded up Factorio Space Age today, and downloaded the 2.0.20 update using autoupdate on steam, and none of my save files are listed, with the exception of a few pre 1.0 files from 6 years ago. The last time I played was yesterday.

A few more details:
* I'm running the linux version of factorio; "2.0.20 (Build 80511 expansion, linux64)"
* All of my save files still appear to be in "~/.factorio/saves", and non have been modified since I played yesterday
* I'm not signed up for/used beta releases.

I've attached log files and my latest save file that does not appear (Space Age 2.4.zip) to this post.

Thank you for your time & help.

Since you are on linux I wonder if this could be caused by the fix for 120128 perhaps?

Ref viewtopic.php?p=638062#p638062 and https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam- ... 2482214082

Certainly possible.

I'm running a relatively stock version of steam & Ubuntu, and everything ran well before. What's weird is that the factorio application "sees" the old saves, but nothing I've done this year. This PC is a new OS build (this year), so those older saves must have come from steam's cloudsave.

The attached file is a space age save that is not displaying, not one of the 6 year old ones that is visible. (oddly, I can't find the 6 year old files in "~/.factorio/saves")

Interestingly, The 6 year old files can be found in "~/snap/steam/common/.factorio/saves", so maybe it's getting it's files from the wrong place?

Attaching logfiles from inside the snap folder to this post.

The logfiles from the /.factorio/ folder in the original post seem to show the last time I ran using 2.0.15, but these logfiles show me running 2.0.20, to they're probably the newest context that's running the game.

I am also having this problem, I can't see my Space Age saves in game after steam updated Factorio to 2.0.20, and can only see my pre-Space Age (1.1.11) saves.
I can see all the saves in the ~/.factorio/saves folder, and I don't have any saves in ~/snap/steam/common/.factorio/saves folder like op.

Investigating the different log files, The /home/csmerz/.factorio/ log file (from the original post) shows :
But in the /home/csmerz/snap/steam/common/.factorio/ log (in the latter post), it shows:
The config path from each log is listed in each log as:
so both versions of the game we're getting to the right place for the config file, which suggests that
in config.ini might be getting interpreted differently in each version of the game? Or maybe something is changing on the steam side of things that I don't understand...?

I did some more testing, if I create a new save in 2.0.20 I can see the save, but it was not in the same folder as the other saves so I searched for the save in the OS and found it located in ~/snap/steam/common/.factorio/saves I moved the saves from the original folder to this one and now I can see the saves in 2.0.22.

I took it in the other direction; I grabbed the stand alone version of the executable from the website, and pointed the at my /home/csmerz/.factorio folder and it seems to be running fine? I lose steam stuff but I'm none too worried about those. I'm just worried that future changes might break stuff further. I should also put together a way to backup my saves.
