My save file (and autosaves) crash when I attempt to load it.

[Martimer]

Hello,

I've recently been playing a lot of Space Age but a few days ago my save file seams to have been corrupted. I was playing earlier in the day and saved the game to go eat lunch. When I attempted to load the game again it crashed. I attempted to load my autosaves but they appear to have the same issue. The most recent working save I have is from over a week ago. I don't understand what could be the issue with my save and autosaves and I would really like to not restart Vulcanus completely.

I have tried restarting the game, restarting my computer, and reinstalling the game. I don't play with any mods, only the base game and space age. I have attached my save file and the log.

I would apricate any information on what could have caused this, if I can recover my world, or even if I can prevent it in the future.

This save was corrupted due to a bit flip. There are many reasons it could fail like that but they are most likely hardware related so just keep looking if there are other pieces of software also crashing because your memory sticks may be faulty. Here is a fixed save file:

Thank you so much! I apricate all of the help. It turns out I have a faulty ram stick and a faulty power supply.
