Any tips on opening the save file you added as .zip? Looks like it is simply to large to load. As I would like to start with a map in which rail tracks are layed down al ready.
You just need to download the archive and put it in your save folder. User\AppData\Roaming\Factorio\saves
After starting the game, the map should appear in the loading menu :)
For a better immersion, I advise you to install the BigWinter mod https://mods.factorio.com/mod/BigWinter
