Thank you for the good wishes and the messages sent my way. :) Still no farms; emailed the devs again, but at this point I don't hold out much hope. I think the problem resides with my pc and its aging components, not something the devs can do anything about.

I am now going to shut up about it, because it is both depressing and there's no need for me to sadden / bore anyone by going on about it. Thanks to all of you who reached out to me. Especially those who offered to help me get new farms up to the same levels as the old ones. You guys are amazing, generous, and kind! But please just enjoy your games, I will enjoy my memories- I have 800+ hours of them after all! xD

Quick update- Dev sent files to get farms back, just installed them but still no farm. Off to redownload the files and re-install incase I messed up.

Good luck retrieving your farms!!

A mutual friend told me about your game and your post on the forum. I'm so sorry this happened to you! I hope the Devs get back to you soon with a solution! I know you must be devastated after all the hard work. Good Luck!

Not so far. The dev responded super quick, and requested I email some data files. Just sent them off and am hoping my farms can be brought back! I know it's not the end of the world, as things go, and I feel very silly about it, but I've been in tears this afternoon. Kind of surprised at myself actually.

That stinks, did you get them back?
