Private Server Reset Safehouse?

[Jolly Wizard]

I've been playing a solo game hosted on a private server for months, with a claimed safehouse for basically the entire run. Started the server up today, and two rooms in the safehouse had soft-reset to their original state, wiping out all of my hoarded weapons and building materials. Tried to restore from a backup made earlier with no luck, I had previously quit the game the proper way. Anyone else ever get this partial safehouse reset, and is there a solve to restore the server to an earlier state before the loss?

**Update** No Mods, just vanilla base game

the only way would be to load a back up if you have 1 saved

Could be a mod issue imo. Even if you shutdown the server properly, a wonky mod could break the files. It happens in single player too after all.

I have done this but it is a real pain, you need to dig thru the map files and find the chunks that contained your house, replace the ones in the server with those files. To help identify which files you need, they are organized by there coordinates/Cell (been awhile since i have done this, cant remember exactly.) You can reference that with map.projectzomboid.com. However these numbers might not be exact as adding modded maps changes the coordinates. So just figure out the rough area your house is located in and copy over a good chunk of the actual map files to the server. You should start the server up and see the differences. (i would take more than necessary, the more files your are copying over the better chance you have of overwriting what you are looking for, this will reset those other places as well, but its easier than trial and error to figure out the exact file you need.)

Ah I see, my backup didn't have the .bin map files, and I can't restore them to a previous version in Windows. Good to know that's how to do it for future reference, definitely going to start backing up the Saves folder from now on
