    I made a big mistake by messing around with the config settings and now my main world became corrupted. When I try to enter the universe, the game gets stuck at "Connecting to Universe".

    So this isn't such a big deal to me because I have all my ship blueprints stored in my catalog and I can access them from a newer world.
    All blueprints, except one, that is not saved in my catalog.

    It is my new capital ship I just started building and I spent quite a lot of hours on it already. The problem is, that it is saved as a blueprint item inside of a shipyard.
    I have located the entity itself as " .ent" and ".smd3" files, so the data is still there, I just need to know how I can bring it over to my new world.

    I hope someone can help me with this. :)

    its a design saved in a meta item in a shipyard ?

    delete maybe from the corrupted universe the files one after another
    chatchannels.tag
    faction.fac
    Cattalog.cat

    after each deletion try to start and connect again.

    you may loose access due to permissions or factioning .. and may have to use admin commands to take controll again if it works.

    It worked!
    After deleting all three files, my universe loaded up again. Now I can retrieve everything the easy way!
    Thank you so much! :D

    If your playing single player you can make backup copies of your worlds by copying the world folder and renaming it.
