Save file too big

[paugusti]

I have a map I've been playing on for dozens of hours. A while ago the game was crashing on autosave, which I fixed by installing the undecorator mod. Now after some more landgrabs and much more construction it's crashing again. What can I do so I don't have to abandon this map?

Best guess, Increase the amount of ram and/or vram on your system.

Please post your system specs.
Also if you are using 32bit Factorio then it might be time to switch to 64bit if you want to continue - 32bit one is limited in amount of usable memory even if you have more.

As it´s crashing during saving: Factorio is saving the game in your user folder (on your system partition). Have you checked that there is enough remaining space? My Factorio folder with a lot of saves is around 9 GB...


Question for the devs: Is it possible to change the save path? I generally don´t like applications which fill my system partition

I every case the game should not crash while saving. So please read viewtopic.php?f=7&t=3638

You can change the save dir: https://wiki.factorio.com/Application_d ... _directory
