Game crash killed everyone
I was just wandering about in the jungle trying to exit the region when the game crashed. when i loaded up the game, every single town/settlement was in ruins and no one is left alive.

Year was 203, playing as elf and with everything cranked to max i terms of world modifiers.

Happened to me too. Year 109. Crash when entering a Jungle Maze map. After restart all cities ruins. No inhabitants anymore... rather critical, this bug.

Sorry it happened. Automatic backups will definitely come, but they are a little problematic due to the size and complexity of the saves.

Btw... it should be possible to do backups manually until this bug is fixed/automatic backup I asume?

Save the World Save Folder once an hour or so. When a crash like this happens replace bugged save folder with the backup.

If so (I will test it with the new world), then there might be a relatively elegant way to solve the problem at least temporarily. Why not implement 2 new buttons?
The first one is called "Manual Backup" and can be used when in game. When used it generated a clone of the savefile, saved in the save folder called something like "worldname_save".
The second one is called "Restore Backup" and can be used when in world load menu. When used it restores the "worldname_save" by replacing the original save files with the manually triggered backup.

Savefolders are relatively big, yes. But in 2023 it should not be a problem imo, as disc space is not overly expensive these days and most people have enough of it.

I did a test by making a new world and passing time for 500 years, the game crashed at year 302 before i had the chance to even play.

You can manualy make saves by going to the save folder and making zips. if you want to load it, just open the zip, copy and paste/overwrite.
