1. What did you do: While playing (on my laptop) a game hosted on my server (ubuntu 20.04) located in my local network.
2. What happened? the game reported "server not responding". While this was happening I pinged the server and I was able to access it just fine (~50ms ping). Reviewing systemctl indicated that the game had crashed and was continually crashing upon restart. This happened continually until rebooting the server. Once I rebooted the server the game loaded without issue and I was able to log in to play.
3. What did you expect to happen instead? I had expected the game would not crash and allow me to continue happily building my factory

I am running several mods:
aai industry
aai signal transmission

informatron
jetpack
robot attrition

combad mechanics overhaul

Has it happened since? the Crash is in quite an odd place, I would be likely to believe its a 1 in a million random OS error

It has happened since (haven't pulled the logs yet), but I'm inclined to think you're right it's an OS error or hardware issue. There are various other odd things which happen to this server (random significant drop in network performance, display not kicking on, etc.).

Thanks for the quick response!
