( Solved ) Technical question for Creepy Jar about returning to SOA 1 from SOA 2

[Jaunitta 🌸]

So I completed SOA 2 , 1000 points and all the quests.
In the notepad I can use the arrow to see back SOA 1 and it has 850 or so trust points.

So I walked back to the cave and went back to the SOA 1 map and finished it 1000 points.
All legends done.

When I walked through the cave down the log to the drugs base expecting to return to SOA 2 tribal leader base it detected the SOA 2 and started the quest from start again?
Luckily I had a back up.
I noticed I could only see the Mu'agi page now arrow for the SPOA 2 had dissapeared for Un'garaca.

Has anyone successfuly done it so the SOA 2 notepad reflects SOA 1 as 100% done or do they have to stay as separate games now?
Edit to add.
I'm talking about the DLC Story SOA 1 and SOA 2

Wow, I'm glad I saw this. Thanks for posting, I sure hope there's a way around that, or that the devs hurry up w/ a fix.

Was the map (the revised original one) altered in any way itself? (ie, structures you built gone, waterways polluted again, & so on)

Yeah I spent half the night trying to get the main saves for each DLC what a nightmare to thinkl I had lost all progress for SOA 2. Replaced with SOA 1.
When playiong SOA 2 I walked back to the cave and rentered the SOA 1 went to the Elder base all was intack my base/s still there everygood. I was missing a child and 1 legend so I finished them.
Made the statue and I had complete SOA 1 with 1000 points all quests done.

So i went back to the cave walked back to drugs camp expecting to go to the SOA 2 Elder camp and it was gone. The drugs base was brand new and asking to fix radio
Holey moley .

Yes I noticed the water poisoned again. It was actually showing poisoned water in areas in SOA 1 so there was some sort of mix up with codes.
Maybe I played to long for the Green Hell Database to catchup and reflect in the Survival notepad/

Oh wow. So basically, as bad as it could possibly be. Thank goodness you had a back up save.

[Jaunitta 🌸]

So technically well logically I have left the SOA 1 on the remote saves folder as that should include SOA 2 since it was the one I used.
Will check today to see if it fixed itself.

It gets worse, I thought to enable cloud saves to see if I could fix it. Fatal ,mistake I mean I am qualified teckie yet I had a complete doh moment. Enabling could saves it pops up the files in cloud a re mismactech, well I figured i'd upload the newer. It deleted all the saves on my HDD.
Luckily I copy out my backups to a separate 5 TB usb drive.
I went to bed at 4 am happy that I got the one save for each DLC renamed them insured they have correct thumbnail. omg.

What a nightmare. I sure hope the devs do something about this, & quickly. And thank goodness you knew how to deal w/ it, if it'd been me, I would've just been .

Hoping for the best for you.

Thankyou nextgengranny

Tested it and that save remiains the same.
Its no big deal really but I expected using the SOA 2 saves and going back to the SOA 1 map would reflect the changes and include SOA 2.
So have removed the SOA 1 and replaced with SOA 2 since that is the one that will be required for SOA 3.

That's what I would've thought, too.

Glad you have a save to take forward. Can't even imagine having to decontaminate all that water, etc. again right now.

Dont think thats the same problem i encountered hope not poor dude that's painful.
Maybe I should give him my save.
Thanks though :)
I get the impression the only way round it is to continue from SOA 1 with full 1000 trust and all quests done then once the Elder Village is discovered it will add that to the current SOA 1.
But I wont its way too much work redo all of SOA 2 lol.
I had hoped that Creey Jar has a serverside storage for this data.
There is a folder called Backup but it has nothing past February 2019

As I see it if everyone has that arrow and shows the SOA 1 while playing SOA 2 they may get tempted to just walk back to that map and complete it. DONT DO IT!!!
Or go back to SOA 1 map and complete it but never save haha
Do you have that arrow also?

Edited.
I'm going to test that. Go back to Map 1 and find some thing that will add to my Trust score then walk back to SOA 2 and save in there
Its only 2 things :) I rarely die

[nextgengranny]

I'm glad to hear you don't think it's related. My own saves seem to be intact.

Afaik, I did everything on the first map it was possible to do; it's possible I left one body unfound, but I don't remember anymore. I do have the the progress for both areas shown in my journal.

Before I left the map from part 1, I did save in two separate slots, just to be safe, & one of those saves has remained untouched. What I might do is boot that one up, & see if I can find another body; if so, I'll note the location but leave it untouched. That would give me something to test with once I complete part 2 (I just have to finish destroying a large Waraha camp I left partially intact). If I decide to do so, I'll save in two separate slots again to make sure at least one of my saves doesn't get zoinked. O.O

[nextgengranny]

So I found a small Waraha camp I missed. But something I had forgotten: I didn't complete part 1 on this save until after part 2 had dropped. Would that invalidate the test?

[Jaunitta 🌸]

It shouldnt but it also wont count as progress in your Part 2 since its on a separate save afaik since its in our note pad as progressed to SOA part 2 now.
Saves are separate.
Copy them out lol and keep as a backup do you have cloud enabled?
I found another child as well as a legend stone lol when I went back.
This is just a test to see if my problem was saving in SOA 1.

So my plan is using the current SOA 2 map and save I've gone to the drug base and am crafting a mud forge so I can smelter the ore needed to craft that statue again.
At least thats still SOA 2 map and can save if I want.
Once I get the smelted ore 3 pieces I will progress into the Map 1 SOA 1 and go the Tribal leader camp and make the rest of the Statue give it to him gain 100 points then walk back to cave through it and to the drugs base back in SOA 2 map nothing changed and save it there see if that changes the trust in the notepad for SOA 1 in SOA 2 haha its crazy. :)

Do you know if the iron ore respawns and how long?

[nextgengranny]

I don't know about the iron ore respawn time, but it definitely respawns.

I just destroyed a large Waraha camp on my active save, which brought me to 1,000 trust points for part 2...then noticed the "replace the antenna" message is in my notebook again. Unfortunately, I didn't notice if it reappeared right after I spoke to the Elder, or just now, when I destroyed the camp.

[Jaunitta 🌸]

Oops . Well you need to go back to the drugs soa 2 jeep grab the antenna off it then march yourself all the way down to the small shio fix it on the roof you're done :)
Sorry if its spoilers
