[1.0.0] Save File corrupted after power outage (post game save/exit of game)

Post by Monkeys959 »

Hello,

I had my game file corrupt on me after a power outage happened. My game had been saved and exited, and about 5 minutes later the power went out. When the power came back on within a minute, I booted up factorio to play my file. Now I am getting the following error:

"Opening Zip C:/users/homer/appdata/roaming/factorio/saves/austin.zip failed: bad zip file"

I am playing with zero mods on any of my save files. this is also the only save file that was corrupted.

I have attached the save file to this report. I believe I also attached the log file, but I may be wrong. If there is anything else that would be helpful please let me know. Is there anything I can do to save the file?

Hello,
unfortunatelly the file is missing about 25% of its content (it's all zeroes), so the zip can't be extracted and the save is unrepairable.
