I'm very dumb and I have already saved over the game after deleting the ship :(

Re: UPS Platform Consumption


You could test for hyphotetical performance or resource leak. Save game, delete all space platforms one by one, watch resource use drop, verify it is zero (or otherwise as expected) when all platforms are gone. Then, you can restore your save.


Yep! That is actually what I spent all day ...

UPS Platform Consumption

Hello,

Is there a tool or a mod or something to indicate which space platform is consuming the most UPS?

I know there is the Show-Time-Usage option when you press F4 but it only gives a broad overview of everything. As of this moment my saved game is running at an incredibly slow 22 FPS/UPS. I ...

Re: Corrupt map: Unknown item prototype ID 20384 (saved game uploaded) (Will pay $50AUD for a fix for this)

Hey just an update to this.

My motherboard is a X670E Steel Legend and I'm using 64gb of Ram. There was a period where Factorio was using almost 40gb+ and I'd get the occasional crash every few hours. My ram sticks were actually in their slots perfectly fine (or so I thought) and had clicked in ...

Re: Solved already, but Factorio successfully identified that I had failing hardware (Linux)

I've also experienced this in the past. Actually today is when I found out what actually was the culprit. This would happen extremely rare to me. The problem was my ram sticks not fully inserted. I must have nudged it after installing the cpu power cable or something because I remember hearing all ...

Re: Corrupt map: Unknown item prototype ID 20384 (saved game uploaded) (Will pay $50AUD for a fix for this)

I ran memtest86+ all night again (ran it after the initial corruption to verify) and it revealed nothing wrong on any passes again. The CPU I just stressed tested it and monitored temperatures for an hour, do you have any recommendations for a good CPU diagnostic tool for linux? because I know a ...

Re: Corrupt map: Unknown item prototype ID 20384 (saved game uploaded) (Will pay $50AUD for a fix for this)

Thank you again for looking into this. Judging from what you said here regarding platforms is it possible to delete entirely the suspect platform? or every platform if that is easier?

Re: Corrupt map: Unknown item prototype ID 20384 (saved game uploaded)


I looked at this save file but i am unable to identify where is it corrupted.


Just curious what in the save file are you looking at? is it the level.dat files through a hex editor?

Also not sure if this helps but I installed the visible planets mod at around the same time the saves became ...

Re: Corrupted save game file help?

Wow boskid I am very impressed you were able to fix this! I've got a very similar problem that I have described in another thread! I just uploaded the saved game. Maybe not all hope is lost!

Corrupt map: Unknown item prototype ID 20384 (saved game uploaded) (Will pay $50AUD for a fix for this)

Hello everyone.

I was playing my 486 hour long map, midway through designing a new ship when suddenly it just crashes to the menu with the error in the title. The full message was "Corrupt map: Unknown item prototype ID 20384. File has likely been corrupted due to failing hardware". I thoroughly ...
