So long story short. Haven’t played for over a year, have a brand new PC and even though the game asked me if I wanted to continue with my progress. It created a new character.
I ran around for a bit, looking around and eventually came across all my buildings etc.
So, the question is how do I get this stuff back.
My guess is that it think my steam ID is wrong, but not sure because when I look at it when creating my character is my machine names and all these numbers.
Can I get my progress back or is this a limitation on this game works?
Not sure how that will help, because I am obviously having multiple players in my save file. My main issue is why does it ask me to recreate a character and all my progress is gone.
It will (probably) help because it will allow you to select a character and assign all buildings etc to that player, while deactivating any other character
Why you’d get assigned a new Steam ID I cannot say - that’s probably more of a general Steam query.
As for buildings auto-destructing - that’s been known to happen after certain updates. The older the save and the more updates it goes through ‘at once’ the higher the risk, probably. The tool doesn’t change anything about the buildings themselves, only the owner.
Okay, that sounds odd, though I’ve heard similar stories before - in fact those were the reason behind the feature to take ownership of buildings being implemented in the tool.
