After upgrading my ship to level 4, i lost all the items i had on me, but after getting everything back im still unable to dredge. is there a way to fix this?

Hey, unfortunately it seems like you've been affected by a known issue that we discovered yesterday. At the moment there is no workaround in-game for you to continue that save file. We're really sorry!

We will get a patch out for this as soon as we can. We cannot say at this stage if we will be able to repair your existing save file.

same , had to restart all over again thanks to this major bug. pretty upsetting

[Mardak]

Where are the savegames located? I would like to backup my save in case I will have the bug as well. Last thing I need to upgrade is hull 4....

I upgraded from level 2 to level 3 boat and lost the majority of my equipment. Thankfully I was able to earn enough money to rebuy the parts, but I can no longer dredge.
Suggestion: make dredge purchasable for 1 piece of gold, so this issue can be worked around

yeah, i got the same problem with hull 4 all fishing gear, talisman and dredge is gone... :(

Same issue. Upgrade to Hull 4 uninstalled all my equipment and tried shoving it into storage, which was already full and so deleted it.

I was lucky. Bug didn't show up

Hey folks, we've just pushed a patch (1.0.4) that should restore your dredge crane to any saves that have been affected by this issue (and ensure that the dredge crane doesn't go missing in future hull upgrades).

Unfortunately, your other equipment will still be missing, but you should at least be able to work your way back up to re-acquiring most of it which will allow you to complete the game.

Apologies again! Please let us know if the patch works correctly for you.
