Factorio Forums

Hi I've never before had Factorio Crash on me so when it did it struck me as strange but then it crashed for a second time so I figured it might be a bug maybe?

I'm not sure what is causing it, its seemingly at random the first time it happened I was ordering a lot of bots to remove trees on Nauvis and figured it was just too many bots, but the second time I was just walking on Vulcanus in Spidertron.

Do you have a save file i could load and it would crash after some amount of time? Without it there is not much to be done since i am first time seeing crash in that specific place (transport line consistency and connector range start) which makes me believe this may be a hardware issue (possibly failing RAM).

So I did a Windows Memory Diagnostic to check the RAM theory and at least according to windows it's good and I haven't been having BSOD problems despite leaving my computer on for long spans of time so I don't think its a RAM error.

I'm posting my last save file, this is taken basically just after the Autosave I loaded from the Crash since I quit playing yesterday afterwards. as for how long it would take to crash, I don't exactly know it seems to run fine for many hours and then just die out of the blue hence why I'm not sure the cause

So I ran Factorio for two days straight after testing the memory of my PC and it didn't crash and so I figured it was either a windows error or something particularly strange... but then today I had it crash again twice. first time out of the blue on Vulcanus and the second time at about the thirty minute mark as the next Auto-Save was processing.

The second crash is unrelated and shows a likely bit flip, this is a hardware problem.
