That's a missing locale (translation files).

The GUI says Unknown key: "gui-silo-script.frame-caption".
The "gui-silo-script" is a category, and "frame-caption" is a key that needs value.

I don't know if you use english language ingame, but look (inside the scenario) for a \locale\en\locale.cfg (maybe yours is folder \de\ ?)
Then there should be something like:

Code: Select all

[gui-silo-script]
frame-caption=This is what the frame should say
sent-label=Another text

If these don't exist then create them.

1) back up your save game somewhere safe, in case the fix fails.
2) open up the .zip file and delete the control.lua and freeplay.lua files. You may need to unzip it first, then rezip it after.
3) Load the save in Factorio and save it to a new save.
4) Open up the zip of the new save - it should have new control.lua and freeplay.lua files.

That's usually enough to resolve the issue.

Sometimes you need to manually replace the files with the correct versions - in that case you'd need to make a brand new game and save it, then copy the control.lua and freeplay.lua files from that new save into your old save.

Run the following three commands in order and it should get rid of the three GUI items - the button and the two boxes.

Removes the button in the top left

Code: Select all

/c game.player.gui['top']['mod_gui_button_flow']['silo_gui_sprite_button'].destroy()

Removes gui-silo-script frame

Code: Select all

/c game.player.gui['left']['mod_gui_frame_flow']['silo_gui_frame'].destroy()

Removes rocket score GUI

Code: Select all

/c game.player.gui['left']['rocket_score'].destroy()

Hopefully that'll get everything working. If not, afraid I can't help anymore.
