World destroyer bug

[TR Juned2]

After login to my account my world structure is gone. Which world i explored and marked location showed but my base is gone. I tried solution on AppData/localow but no luck. How can i recover my base?

Are you or have you been, of anyone on the server, using mods?

The game should save at least one backup (I think they should increase that to store more backups).
I dont remember when the game saves, but if your latest world was broken, you checked into it saw that it was, then quit it, maybe the quitting woukd trigger a new save which would overwrite your backup. Dont know if it could happen like that but it makes sense to me.

Me and a friend experienced this bug as well. I think there was just a lack of world-save because at some point, my world just roll-backed. I still have my main base, but it s in a state it wasnt before, because last time i played i modified it. The modifications are simply gone. And i died helplessly on an other island because i dont have enough dunjeons on my first island to craft portals (the ship i used also disappeared)... so all my Troll stuff is out of reach now...
I hope this kind of bug will soon be fixed

This bug hasn't happened to me but I can imagine it's supremely frustrating. It's situations like this that I think using console commands to rebuild is completely justified.

I got hit by a power outage while I was ingame playing. When my power was restored my game was there but it was at a point that was way before where I was when I lost power. It was at a save point I had made myself days before the power failure occurred. When I tried to load my game back initially I got a cloud linkup warning that there was an issue with the save status. It gave me two options with no explanation of what either one would do. Maybe I chose the wrong one but I will never know at this point. The game saves do need an overhaul.

I had similar issues twice when using two accounts on one PC:

I built the game world on my_PC with my_account
My kids play with me on kids_PC with kids_account
I accidentally ran the game on my_PC with kids_account
Later on I ran the game on my_PC with my_account and was sad to see that:
The game world got reset to some weird state from many days before. (so are the other worlds that I do not play with my kids)

First time It happened I blamed myself for not seeing steam cloud old/new update override message. But this is the second time it happened and there was no steam/game message of any kind.

Now I have to explaining to the kids that their work on a game world is destroyed... again :(

Yep I use the Save Backup utility from Nexus and backup my saves before or after every play session. Takes literally three seconds and has saved me a number of times. Backing up your saves is *always* a good idea in early access.
