The auto-save doesn't really auto-save when one would think it would. I'm not sure it even does save other than when you save anyways or at the start of the game.

You can try though by clicking on the load button and then load the auto-save from there (it's called autosave).

    There is a little button in the loading area that says "recover" and I still lost about 2 hours but it looks like it maybe saves when you leave a lot? Ty for your advice, I recovered at least 3 of my 5 hours I think. T_T

      Hi @Zoaea

      the autosave was removed a few patches ago.


      The recovery recovers the last backup which was automatically created when you last saved.

        Oh, so does that mean it would have picked up at that point regardless? How come the removed auto save? T.T
