    Yo.

    So apparently, my game is not saving as it should. When I last played on my SP world, I was rebuilding a frame I had made in coloured hull, and ended my session looking like this;

    (Actual picture because I was posting it in chat).
    And now, a few hours later when I go to work on it some more, I find that 1 of them have reverted to an earlier state;


    Now, I know this is Alpha, but things not saving properly kinda makes it hard to play at all. Another WIP I was working on On-And-off has also suffered from these selective rollbacks, and the server I normally play on (NFD-b) is rather unstable for me these days, so I can only play on SP. Any idea why it would be doing this?

    did you run the singleplayer or did you connect to your own dedicated Server as singleplayer?
    did you properly end the game? (through the menu and not by terminating the game window )

    Just singleplayer, I dont bother with dedicated servers.
    And I did use the menu to quit.

    do you have by any chance the logfile of that session still av ailable ?
    would be named log.txt.x (with x a number) with a time stamp from when you did end the game and the changes havnt been saved.

    These should be the logs from that play session.
    I just don't understand why the grey ship reverted, when the one with colour was the one being worked on. The grey one should have been through several auto-saves.
