[0.16.51] Corrupted Save File

Post by BaileyS_xD »

Hello there! So a while ago my save file corrupted along with all the autosaves. I started a new save and have been just playing on that but I thought it's worth a shot to see if I could try recover my save file.

Whenever I try open the save file with WINRAR it comes up with this message: ! C:\Steam\steamapps\common\Factorio\saves\Cool.zip: Unexpected end of archive

https://drive.google.com/open?id=1DQPPq ... N0v-SLQc2D

^ Link to Save


I hope you can fix this, Thanks!

Well, since the archive can't be opened (I checked myself), there is not much I can do about it.

Please, post the change things into the bug report instead of private messages, as in private missages others don't see it and it might be easily lost.

The level.dat is corrupt inside the zip - as in no zip program can extract it because the .zip file contents around the level.dat are corrupt.

There's nothing we can do to recover the file. Something outside of Factorio corrupted the zip and it's now lost.
If you want to get ahold of me I'm almost always on Discord.
