Factorio autosave broken after pc shutdown

Post by Darkkfeita »

Hallo Guys,

I am really happy with this game and nothing were wrong.
I was doing my last steam archievement the 20 million circuits.
I build a quick base with 360k circuits a hour so i can let it produce and just wait.
I saw quick progress and were at 8 million or something like that, which before was like 2.8 million
Then i came come and saw my pc shutdown, which im surprised about too, because i think i dont have a shutdown after x hours, i think windows update just f***ed me.
Anyways Factorio does 3 autosaves for me. Number 2 was broken and i got a message that this save is broken. No problem i got 1 min autosave so i just Nr 1, but then i saw my archievement which was 2,8 million again.
I seems like the shutting down and the resulting broken save deleated every circuitboard i produced while on this map =/
I dont know if thats a steam thing, which wouldn't surprise me, i am not a fan of steam, or a Factorio thing.

Have a nice day :D

Power loss while saving can cause any kind of corruption with the saves. There's nothing we can do about that.
If you want to get ahold of me I'm almost always on Discord.

The save is not a problem.
The missing circuit boards is what i wonder about, every circuit board i crafted on this map is gone =/
