You have a mod thats not comaptible with 0.13. Delete it/move to different directory and game should start.
(By default 0.13 will look in same place as 0.12.x for mods)

you can also disable/update mods from the mods menu

...not comaptible with 0.13...

Just so you're aware, the map itself can be incompatible with a newer version.

If you're getting errors like:

Code: Select all

...factorio/temp/currently-playing/control.lua: module defines not found;

You may need to convert the map to a scenario and then re-load the map in the new version of Factorio.




UPDATE:
Turns out that converting it to a scenario wasn't sufficient to fix my world.

Here's what I finally did that fixed the corruption:
* Convert map to scenario
* Remove the line require "defines" from factorio/scenarios/<mapname>/control.lua
* Remove factorio-current.log (for some reason Factorio wasn't writing to the log file before crashing)
* Attempt to load custom scenario (to figure out what mod is causing the loading problem)
* Load world in Factorio v0.12.35 without the problematic mod
* Save world
* Load world in Factorio v0.13.1
