Don't include the program debug database for factorio in release builds
I noticed that in the Factorio bin folder, the PDB file for the main executable is also there. This doesn't really benefit 99% of people and shouldn't be included, as it is pretty large. Save yourself the bandwidth!

It benefits us, as we can see symbolized stacktraces in crash logs people post in bug reports directly.

Oh, I see!
Thanks for the explanation. I didn't consider how Factorio itself may interact with the file. I guess now that I think about it, that would be very helpful!
