Factorio Forums

Just had a crash with 2.0 .72. Not sure what triggered this but I was using the mouse, SteelSeries Rival3 to Zoom into the Plastic / Lubricant plant on the South edge of the Nauvis base and the screen froze followed by the crash dialog.

Beyond that I don't think I was doing much unusual TBH, been playing this Space Age save for quite a while now, since the release of SA, and has gotten up to ~300K SPM for Nauvis based research.

Wild arm waving but looking at the timestamp of the auto-save and the crash log its *possible* that I was scroll wheel zooming into the map from map view just as the next Autosave kicked in but take that with a massive pinch of salt.

Given how stable Factorio has been for me I suspect that this would be a bugger to diagnose as it may be a Heisenbug but if you are able to figure it out I salute you!

Do you know if any way to reproduce this crash? Based off where it crashed I suspect hardware failure - given it runs almost every second in your save, and essentially everyone’s saves as they play. Yet, yours is the only one that crashed.

Sorry, I only ever saw this the one time and reported it.

All I can think of, and maybe this is completely bogus, was I was scroll zooming in with the mouse and it *felt* like autosave was starting to run but that could be me getting led astray as the mouse type was called out in the log and the crash dump was timestamped about 20 minutes after the last autosave Zip file. Coincidence??

Honestly I was caught by surprise given the tiny number of crashes I've ever experienced given the <cough><harumph> thousand hours I've been playing Factorio.

Will absolutely follow up if I see it again but maybe mark this one as Non-Repro?
