I saved, but the game didn't save
The title might sound redundant, but it's true. Yesterday I was working on building a lot, saved my game multiple times over the hour or so I worked on it, and then saved one last time and quit. This morning, when I accessed my save through "load game" and start off on the manage worlds screen, I can see the updates I've made to my build. However, when I click on the lot and go into build mode, all of my progress reverts. I don't understand why this is happening, as it has never happened before.
I do use mods in this game, but they've never caused an issue with saving before.
ectobiologiist This can happen sometimes, unfortunately. The build corrupts for some reason, or no obvious reason at all. Your best bet, if you're still interested, is to load a backup version of the save. Hopefully one of them has your build still intact.
