Update corrupted save

Post by sirfused »

When factorio was updating, my internet cut off but I was able to finish it when the internet came back on. I went on my save and all my burner inserters have switched to inserters, the GUI's are corrupt (only on this save), crafting recipes have changed (I think this was meant to happen) all the tile boxes are in the wrong place and bigger than they should be and the graphics are horrible and they won't change! All the water that I placed land on has switched back to water and other things have happened I can't be bothered to type up. What happened? What can I do to fix it? Can I fix my save?

Can you upload the save here?

Also if you want to try to continue to play on the old version, you can downgrade by opening Factorio properties in Steam Library, going to Betas tab and selecting "0.14.23 - Factorio Stable 0.14" from the dropdown box.

Assuming it was the last save you were playing, the 3 autosaves may be of it. They'll be a few minutes old, so you'll lose the very last things you did, but with any luck they'll work.

But yes upload your corrupted one somewhere so the devs can look at it in any case.

Now I feel stupid -.- I disabled autosaves and I just reset it on steam to see if that would fix it... I don't have the saves anymore

EDIT: Nevermind, I found my backups!

The save needed to rebuild steam engine setup to adjust for changed boiler in 0.15, but other than that it seemed fine to me.
Can you post factorio-current.log and screenshot so I can see how is your graphics and GUI broken?
