Description according to guidelines below:
What did i do?
- nothing, just played the game as usual
What happened?
- game crashed out of nowhere when auto-saving
What did i expect to happen instead?
- not to crash randomly when auto-saving
Does it happen always, once, or sometimes?
- it happens out of nowhere, sometimes. Sometimes it crashes gracefully with an in-game dialog which warns about possible corruption in save file itself, prompting me to quit and reload different save, but usually the game crashes completely, showing a windows dialog that mentions that crash log is available in factorio-current.log and that i should mention it on these forums

- Including also auto-saves just for a good measure
There is this one save from few days ago that really surprised me as it happened first time ever to me:
- 20241118003030_1.jpg (1.32 MiB) Viewed 19 times
- when you try to load this save, it shows just an error: "Corrupt map: unknown tile prototype ID 230."
- i have just reloaded earlier save, which worked fine with regular crashes as previously (better than fully corrupt i suppose heh)
- i cannot provide exact steps as it is just too random, i couldn't reproduce it myself unfortunately, just that it happens every session i play, after at least few hours it seems it just happens
- unfortunately i did not copy the log file of this crash
Additonal notes
- i am using no mods, just "vanilla" (base game, see for yourself in the log file)
- i was initially playing with a friend, (hence the file name) where we were transferring this save file between us via discord, but for the last two weeks i was playing alone, kept hosting multiplayer if my friend would like to join but switched to singleplayer for the last week or so, maybe that helps
- these frequent crashes are starting to drive me mad, hence why i wrote this forum post. In comparison, after years of playing factorio i have never experienced a single crash (or at least i do not remember such frequent cases as this)
