Hey, captains! We’re rolling out a new Steam Cloud Saves update intended to fix the issue with corrupted saves. We’ll be closely monitoring your feedback and will respond accordingly if any issues arise.

**Version: 0.10.0.5.120-073042fb**

##### **Save files improvements**

- Implemented a new storage and backup system for save files

- The game now automatically backs up all data every 10 minutes of gameplay and upon exiting

- Updated the save file structure for cloud synchronization to minimize syncing issues

- Broken save files no longer block the game from loading

- Data Recovery UI: If the latest save file for a world or character is found to be broken at startup, a special UI window will appear. Players can either quit the game (e.g., to attempt a cloud resync) or recover data from a backup. The game will automatically offer the latest available one

- Save Migration System: Implemented a system to migrate old save files (pre-version 0.10.0.5.120-073042fb) to the new format. In most cases, this process is seamless and invisible

- Migration Conflict Handling: If the game detects old, corrupted save files that cannot be properly migrated, a notification window will appear with information about the affected files and a prompt to delete them

##### **Other updates**

- Fixed an issue where D-pad Left was incorrectly mapped to the "Take All" action in the crafting station UI

- Updated the Wolf Head item icon

##### **Known Issue**

- Characters created before version 0.10.0.4 cannot be deleted due to Steam Cloud synchronization. This is a known issue and will be fixed in a future update.

- Your game settings will be reset after this patch. Please back them up manually if needed.
