Yesterday I installed two mods, Blueprint Sandbox and Rate Calculator, to make my life easier, played the whole evening with them active, turned the game later that night went to sleep, today back to making the factory bigger, but I can’t load it, game crashes, last save I can load is like 50 hours earlier (thank God for that autosave when first entering planet, otherwise I would be utterly fucked) (Guess that’s my karma for saying that Gleba is not that bad as they say), since my autosaves are set really close together and all of them are corrupted.
Might be corrupting with an older version of Blueprint Sandbox I had installed earlier, since the save is kinda old. I started it way back when the DLC came out and used it for a while, but I tried on the backup save to do the same, e.g., load the save, open Blueprint Sandbox, put some stuff there, and save the game — reloaded just fine. So maybe no dice there.
Is there any way of saving this file, or do I just replay Gleba and set better autosaves?
This is the moment it crashes
Mods i have
[2.0.60] Probably corrupted save 244hours in, game crash after load

Way to fix it? Maybe if one of developers will have time to look and manually fix it with hex editor. Other than that, no.Flupa wrote: Sat Jul 26, 2025 7:08 am Is there any way of saving this file, or do I just replay Gleba and set better autosaves?
Next time, just remember to manual Save under incrementing number 1, 2, 3 and so on. EVERY TIME you open or close the game, no exceptions.
I don't understand how people are going away with not doing this. If you try to exit the game without saving first, it will ask: "are you sure? All unsaved data will be lost." You accept the risk by not saving the game before quitting.

Always save before adding a mod. You're adding random stuff to your game that was written by random people. Wube can't save you from mods that you install yourself.

Note: mods should never be able to corrupt a save file. We *are* supposed to be able to save people from mods they install.NineNine wrote: Sun Jul 27, 2025 1:25 am Always save before adding a mod.

One of inserters had complete garbage values on its 5th filter slot.
