All saves reset after using tickets/ boombox/ free goat simulator tape.

[Slartibartfast]

I am not maligning Goat Simulator, just saying I got a second 12 tickets and bought all the tapes in the in shop and listened to entire Goat Simulator soundtrack. I had it playing in the background, boombox not in hand, and anyway I was running around getting quartz and coal etc. Then I had to go, but now all my saved games are reset, animals attack again, and my inventory only has the xeno basher or whatever its called. All my buildings and vehicles are where I left them, but no drop box like I died or anything.

You mean your save is working but your inventory is gone and you suddenly re-spawned in the hub? If this is the case your items are still out there, on your old character. This happens if you start the game in offline mode or can't connect to steam/epic. You can simply find your old character and kill him to retrieve your items. If you can not find the character you can use Satisfactory Calculator to load up your save file and locate the character.[satisfactory-calculator.com]

I was sure it was listening to the Goat Simulator that did it!

Weird, I play offline all the time and never had that happen before. Anyway I just reloaded the game and now I've got all my stuff and back I am where I was. I did run back up to where I last was when I reloaded about about 3 saves or autosaves, and didn't see myself or create any universe ending paradoxes.

even weirder, my explorer is back where it was earlier before I drove up here before when I was here in the altered universe. I guess I know now what I knew then, but will never know where I was when I was there.

And when I was where I had been, I did find my self sitting on the ground next to HAB, err RUM Pedestal (have pirate language on) sittin there sipping coffee(err RUM!)

To bad I can't put myself to work and have clones to get more done!

Hi!

Still Bor3d has pretty much got it right, but i'll provide a little more context.

Regarding respawning with starter items:

This is a known issue that is either caused by playing offline or if a connection cannot be made to Steam/Epic.

When you load into a game, we use your Steam ID to determine which pawn in game you should re-possess (as there may be multiple pawns in a multiplayer game). If, for some reason, an online connection cannot be made your Steam ID cannot be determined and therefore the game creates a new starter pioneer when you spawn in.

The workarounds are to:
A) try restart the game unless something funky happened
B) check to make sure there is nothing interfering with your connection to steam/you are not in offline mode
C) if this keeps occurring, your old pioneer should be where you last left her. You can just kill them and take their items.

We do intend to find a solution for this issue as it has been known for years, but yeah idk maybe we should just blame Goat Simulator instead? xD

Another thing I failed to mention, since the subject of ongoing bug was just brought up, is the other offline dysfunction is locking, or whatever the name is, more than sleep state. After unlocking even if Steam is back online the game won't recognize the web is up or down, at least on clicking Continue Venture I'll always get the offline session dialog.

Today was one of the first times I didn't guarantee my connection with my hotspot phone since I was at Starbucks, but the internet was fading in and out.

I'm just glad my original came back. All those explosives and hand and foot Eq I don't need to remake.
