Factorio autosave broken after pc shutdown

Hallo Guys,

I am really happy with this game and nothing were wrong.
I was doing my last steam archievement the 20 million circuits.
I build a quick base with 360k circuits a hour so i can let it produce and just wait.
I saw quick progress and were at 8 million or something like that, which before was like 2.8 million
Then i came come and saw my pc shutdown, which im surprised about too, because i think i dont have a shutdown after x hours, i think windows update just f***ed me.
Anyways Factorio does 3 autosaves for me. Number 2 was broken and i got a message that this save is broken. No problem i got 1 min autosave so i just Nr 1, but then i saw my archievement which was 2,8 million again.
I seems like the shutting down and the resulting broken save deleated every circuitboard i produced while on this map =/
I dont know if thats a steam thing, which wouldn't surprise me, i am not a fan of steam, or a Factorio thing.

Have a nice day :D

Power loss while saving can cause any kind of corruption with the saves. There's nothing we can do about that.

The save is not a problem.
The missing circuit boards is what i wonder about, every circuit board i crafted on this map is gone =/
