That's where your saves are stored.

Hey there, @crinrict o/
When I delete the saves folder and start a game it gets created but for all the time I am online I can get my bits and pieces back if I fail. If I save at any point that stops. If I delete the save and start again it still doesn't work. I need to delete the folder again and let it be created when I run the game it will only work all the time I don't save again. If I save again, the same thing happens. It took me hours of tries to figure out what was going on and honestly, I can't even tell what is the problem with it. I asked 3 programmers and they all think it is some clash with the save data or location. I was going to install the game on another computer to test it out there as well to completely rule out the hardware clash. Do let me know if it will help you cause for now I just gave up on crafting with the fabricator and am learning with the books and candle maker.There are also 2 more things I noticed.
1.When I save during a project when I restart, sometimes the fabricators disappear or are not usable2.When I save and relog, sometimes my burnt items from dumpster diving disappear from the housing inventory or (and that has happened only twice so far) they get fully restored.

I'm not sure if this helps, but I have had this issue with a newer save and I have all of the packs installed. Same thing also happens when I stop fabricating something halfway through, I can't resume fabricating and it doesn't refund me the dyes, or bits and pieces. It will still show the option to use those dyes but they no longer appear in my inventory and when I try to select a colored object to fabricate nothing happens, the sim acts as if I didn't give a command.

Definitely still an issue. Was having this happen every time on the save I've been playing so I removed all mods, made a new save to try it out on (along with trying another problem with the recycler where you get nothing back for some items that you can recycle & should get bits & pieces back for) and then made a bunch of things at the fabricator. When making an eco upgrade part it failed, and didn't refund the bits and pieces. I tried voodoo dolls and and eventually failed one and it didn't return the bits and pieces with that fail either..
Was hoping it was mods causing the problem or maybe a bug with the save I've been playing but nope, it's happening on a brand new save with no mods at all too
Kind of a pricey bug if you are just getting started in fabricating and don't have many bits and pieces yet. Even more of a nasty bug when trying to get more by dumpster diving only to find that there are a LOT of items you are allowed to recycle at the recycler that give nothing back to you (it just takes the item). Whole lot of bugs in this Eco expansion that mess up important parts of it that would be neat if they weren't so buggy.
