Lost everything ???

[N1ghthawk__74]

I appear to have somehow lost all my game saves, history and all my personal unpublished blueprints. I still have all the subscribed mods and blueprints as far as I can tell. Is there a way to locate these missing blueprints and saved games ?

Unless you've been randomly deleting directories, they're probably still there, all saves should be under %appdata%\SpaceEngineers\Saves\76561199373150435 assuming you're logged in to the computer as your usual user account.

When my system is running well, the saves are in directory similar to what Rox stated. When I cannot connect to Steam my 76561199373150435 is changed to 1234567891011. My guess is you aren't logged into Steam.

Hi, you may have set your Steam app in Offline mode, we can't see our online world saves when not connected to Steam but we still see our Local Blueprints.

Have you enabled the in-game Steam cloud from game options ?

Asking because that option is not made to save at all, it is made to create Cloud Blueprints and we can't edit and can't publish Cloud Bp.

All the important to know have been added to this pinned green message :

I strongly recommend to use your Workshop as backup system once you will have the proper settings.

I will add, this part is in the pinned important but I will paste here in case you missed it :

You enabled the in-game Steam cloud and want to fix?

To do before disabling the in-game Steam cloud :

1 - You will have to paste all your "Cloud Blueprints" in a creative world.

2 - Go disable the in-game Steam cloud in game options.

3 - Load the creative world where you pasted all your "Cloud Blueprints" and redo LOCAL Blueprints this time.

Thank-you this was done and did fix the blueprints issue.
I believe I also found the issue with the saved game files as well, unfortunately they are all lost . I had a computer issue that required the shop to do a complete back-up prior to repairs . Somehow they missed a ton of files and so it appears they are lost for good . Thanks for your assistance and responses

Good advice

Take advantage of your Workshop because it got the best Backup system, upload all your Favorite creations (blueprints + world saves) and set those hidden from your Workshop item description page if you don't want to show public.
