Corrupted save file of 110+ hour game save

Opening zip C:/Users/leosm/AppData/Roaming/Factorio/saves/Pre 16.zip failed: Bad zip file
Also says invalid or corrupt file and prompts me to delete the save. This is my biggest save and probably in the top 1% of factories out there. It has 150M iron plate produced and up to 10Gw power consumption. I dont want to abandon this save :( When I try to extract the files I get the error message "C:\Users\leosm\AppData\Roaming\Factorio\saves\Pre 16.zip: The archive is corrupt". Any help is appreciated. :|

I'd post it (save, log, wahtever else) in bug reports. The devs are often wuite good at fixing corrupted saves (in most cases, unless something really bad happens). It would also help if they knew what could have caused it.

I tried extracting the save to post but I couldnt because of the corruption, Ive never done it (posted my save) before so maybe Im just doing it wrong
EDIT: Nevermind I'm silly :)
