Factorio Forums

It's been a difficult couple years for me. My mental health has not been good. Yes, I am receiving medical help for that!

Games have always been a welcome relief for me. Factorio has been especially good. I've sunk more time into maybe Terraria and the Pokemon series... and that's *it*.

Last year, somewhat before the Space Age launch, I encountered an odd crash, and posted about it: viewtopic.php?t=111901

Rseding91 responded to my crash with the following:

Based off the crash I doubt you will find steps to reproduce. My suspicion is you had a random bit flip and or your RAM is going bad. Are you having any other issues with other games/programs? What does running https://www.memtest.org/ show?

Well, it turns out my ram WAS going bad and needed to be replaced. Rseding diagnosed a HARDWARE FAILURE on my end, entirely from my crash data, possibly saving me from the grief of no end of corrupted personal data. How's that for a freakin' value add to my Factorio purchase price.

I've had to prioritize purchases, like most people, and wasn't able to immediately drop the $35 for Space Age until this week. Kovarex, Wube business folks: If you hadn't already delivered a frankly amazing piece of software, Rseding directly sealed the deal and earned you my purchase of the Space Age expansion.

Thank you for the wonderful game, and thank you for saving my personal data!
