My saves
Hey im kinda new to this game, and i played and progressed a bit and i play about 25 hours and i got aboud 400k cats. but for some reasons i had to delete the game, before i deleted the game i checked if the game have cloud save option. so i dont have to backup manually.
so i saw it had and 96mg saves are stored in cloud so i deleted the game and today i installed it but i realized my saves didnt return.
then i doubled check the save cloud option and it still says i have 96mg saves stored in cloud.
how can i get my saves from cloud ? cause they didnt get imported from cloud

Okay, gg i just realized the 96mg is actually 96mg storage is avaliable to store your save there.
so basically i lost my saves.
im disappointed honestly

No clue what it thinks is stored in the cloud, but it's not saves. The game does not support cloud saving, as they can get far too large for that service (I've seen them get over 1gb for a single save).

Unfortunately, if you didn't back them up manually, and don't still have the files, then they are gone for good. :(

Very sorry to hear this, but please know you are not alone, and it is not Kenshi's fault. On every game forum I am on, somebody will now and then loose their save progress because of steam cloud. The convenience (if that) is simply not worth the risk. Do Not use steam cloud, just disable it for all games. It is a tough 'lesson' but, yes, sorry...

Yeah, I would never bank on cloud saves for any game. I do keep them on for convenience for most games (I play from multiple machines regularly), but I keep backups of everything myself, just in case there are issues.

If you remember what tech you had unlocked, what your squad composition was, what skills and gear you had & money, we can make you a custom start with all these things. It won't bring you back any houses you built, but we can arrange equal amount of building materials for you.

Hey, thank you for your response. thats honestly nice of you but i didnt have any base i was just exploring the world and sell valuable stuff, but i think this will consume lots of valuable time from you, its okay i probably gonna take break and will start over again if i wanted to play again.

No, making a start is like ten minutes, tops. Most likely less than 5, if I have a full list and do not have to add more later. If that gets you back in the game, it is well worth it.

No, if you can use steam mods. List all you remember, how many people, what start you used last time, did you unlock any tech? How much money, food, first aid kits, what weapon? Did you loot anything good?

Technically I can also put it in Nexus, if needed.
