Disappearing crafting stations, resources and skills

My base disappeared ~two weeks ago. I’ve built a temporary camp to regain resources and now yesterday my forge and one wheel of pain just, disappeared. Poof-gone w/ all the resources within the forge. Also, when I use a fragment of power to gain additional skills, once I log out, those skills are no longer available: I must relearn them. Very frustrating. Considering jumping to another game

Ok, let’s see if we can figure things out.

First, is this single player or multiplayer?

If single player, what are your settings in terms of decay and stability?

If multiplayer, is it an Official or private server?

Now as for the skills, is it that you lose the additional points granted from the fragment, or the chosen knowledge is de-selected? If it is de-selected, do you regain those points?

Single player; I’ll have to check on the decay and stability settings. I’ll run through those tonight. Sounds like we may have the fix established. Thanks!

Skills: Once I log back in, the knowledge is de-selected and I do not regain those points.

I don’t know enough about saves for single player, I am sure someone else who is more knowledgeable about it could explain about how it works. However, there is potential for future saves that if something does go wrong, you’d be able to reload.

I did a quick search on the forums for losing knowledge/feats and appears this could be an old bug.

But, I also wonder if the game might be loading an old save somehow, with Gamepass… it would probably be different than Steam.

Unfortunately, I think you are correct that Steam and Gamepass seem to operate differently.

For the Steam version, singleplayer saves are (by default) - C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Conan Exiles\ConanSandbox\Saved

(maybe that filepath is similar enough to the gamepass one to help find the save folder?)

If you can get to the save folder, then (again for Steam version) there would be a file called ‘game.db’ and multiple backups with earlier timestamps - hopefully that’s the same situation. Renaming an older backup to ‘game.db’ would be all it takes to ‘rollback’ to that save. (Generally worth copying the folder to a backup location first, since it will start overwroting backups once you start going into the older saves.)

Bigger first point that I might suggest, however, would be to start by verifying the game files (if that is something gamepass allows) - maybe something has become corrupted somewhere, which would explain things disappearing.

The problem, of course, is that my knowledge all being Steam-related means any number of elements may be different. Hopefully someone who knows Gamepass may have somethig to add.
