Firstly, I'm sorry about the rather vague title, but I can't be more specific.

What did you do : I was just placing turbos conveyors, and more precisely they were directly (so as soon as I placed my belt) filled with iron ore from big mining drill.

What happened : My game crashed with a system popup whose content I unfortunately no longer have. After restarting my game (and making a backup of my savegame and logs) I saw a savegame that had been created at the time of the crash but which was displayed as corrupt.

Does it happen always, once, or sometimes? : After backing up my save, I redid the same actions I had done before the crash, but it didn't crash.


I put the log file, unfortunately I deleted the corrupted save I mentioned above :/ .

Sorry if my post is a bit vague on information but I don't know what else to add, the crash seems so random.

There you go, have a nice day, or evening.

Thanks for the report. Looking at the log it shows it crashed trying to save electric network data. There have been a handful of issues with this in the past however there are no known issues right now. Unless you know of a way to make this happen from a working save file my thoughts go to possibly failing hardware.

I couldn't help more if it's related to the electrical network, at the time of the crash I didn't add or remove any poles, as I said I was building belts, and none of my bases on other planets had construction via robots in parallel. As you say, it's probably just a hardware failure (and I can see why you have the ‘1/0 magic’ category ahah).

In any case, thank you for your quick reply, and have a good day/evening!
