Crash on loading save after memory issues

Apologies in advance for a complex story.

This morning I got random errors about sprite when loading my save. From my google history I think the error was "incorrect data check: __base__/graphics/entity/worm/worm-attack-mask-3.png". Reinstalling factorio didn't help, but restarting gave me a similar error about a different sprite. Internet suggested memory hardware issues. I ran memtest and identified that indeed two of my four memory banks had issues. With only the other two it passed memtest without a problem.

However, on loading my save I now get a crash at the end the second progress bar ("Running entity setup"?). The save is somewhat modded (mostly factory planner and some other QoL), but after removing the mods I get the same crash. The crash also happens on my autosaves and on a slightly earlier save. I can start a new game or load a different save file without issue.

Log included below, savefile can be loaded here: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/w0z1u0iz ... l2c4o&dl=0

Is there any way this save can be rescued?

Just load a save from day before, you save the game state before exiting the game, right? Or check autosaves.

All three autosaves and a somewhat earlier saves had the same issue. The last save before that was a month old :(
