Hello all, I hope this is the correct forum. I’m playing the game on PS5, co-op mode. Played and completed the Steelsmith journey in one session. A bug appeared near the second to last step. Crafted a steel tool, but then the game notified me that the journey was complete even though I had not crafted a steel weapon. Hoping for the best, I went ahead and crafted a steel weapon. Logged off, logged back in and the journey was reset to the “gather brimstone” stage, i.e., lost progress, and strangely enough, lost two pets. Re-logged back in a few minutes ago and more stuff was missing including the second floor of my base. Thank you!

It’s not a bug regarding the journey steps. It’s a bug regarding saving on offline/co-op modes on PlayStation. It’s been happening since the chapter 3 update I believe. My friend figured out after it happened once to her that she needed to log out to the main menu first, then quit the game. Don’t quit right away from the co-op server. Also, if that doesn’t work, you can try to pick up something from a box and put it back in, then check the event log that it shows the inventory adjustment. If it did, then it will likely save your progress.

Thank you for the reply. Appreciate it! I’m probably missing something, but will try that. When I exited the game, I thought I did go to the main menu first. I press options, go to “quit,” it asks, “are you sure?,” and then press X to exit to the main menu. ^^

I’m just going off what she told me. There could be more to it. I’ll try to find out. Maybe she’s just been lucky. Regardless, I think if the event log is showing changes, I’ve heard that’s a good indicator that it’s saving. Best of luck!

Great! Okay, I’ll keep an eye on the event log. And I might, if possible (haven’t really used the admin stuff), take a short cut to see if it will save/advance journey after crafting, etc. Thanks again.

A quick note. The journey worked/completed the second time, but don’t know how or why. Pretty much did the same things in the same order. The procedural difference was that I exited the game after the completion message then re-logged to claim the reward, but this shouldn’t make a difference. And apparently, crafting a pick axe counts as both a tool and weapon for journey completion. (Did have to rebuild my base as it disappeared the first time the during this journey. Same/different/related? Coincidence? I don’t know.)

One thing I can tell you is when you need to put a thrall in a bench take it from your inventory to top left area for thralls learned that about a month ago on the Forum here. @zhikhro
As I said, it’s not the journey step that’s the problem (though there are some bugs with them), but rather the saving of the single player/co-op server. It’s been an issue all season. You just happened to be building and doing journeys when it happened, thereby messing it all up.
Yeah, it happened again. After rebuilding my base, crafting benches, thralls, etc. disappeared again, and it also happened to reset another journey to an earlier step. I’m kinda going to give up on the game for now. Can’t get time back. Thanks, again.
Bummer, but understandable. Alternatively, you can play online. That’s what I do. Official PvE.
Thanks for the suggestion. The sandbox, open world game play is fun.
