That way should I need to start from scratch, I won't lose too much progress. Going to build a simple settlement as a home base for my asshole character (I know) then just wander and do random stuff, leaving most quests for a week or two to see if the game is playable. Well see going forward how this pans out. My theory simply is too much data to save in one go, the game can't store it so assumes I'm out of space, triggering the 'free up space' prompt but as I DO have space, I need to free up 0kb. My previous play through (very heavy settlement building but with no mods, very long sessions, some with a while between saves and overwriting/auto/quicksaving a lot) was very bug free. Maybe I have too many installed (tried trimming the fat but I can't ditch any because I want them all haha) or maybe it's mods like USO which is simply providing too much data for the game to save correctly, thus causing the error or making it more likely. I believe it's being caused or exasperated by mods. The cause of that is still beyond me but I at least have a theory. Thus the game is failing to save all the changes I've done.

I think I'm leaving it too long between saving and doing too much in the interim. The error had happened after ditching survival mode and thus the survival saving mod, so I do t think it was exclusively that. 3 and nv taught me to save often (a tactic which seems to be working with my current problem)Īfter the last occurrence of our friend 0kb, which occurred after I was settlement building and resource cloning (don't judge me), I reloaded and built again, this time quiting workshop node every five mins or so and manually saving (autosave is off and I've abandoned survival mode following sivispacm's advice). It's a game worth having if you like fallout.ĭon't be put off by the errors or bugs (4 is more stable than nv and 3 but bethesda simply aren't that good at quality (in terms of game stability)). Fallout 4 is a great game but it's not like nv at all.
