Character info lost on power outage

[Swordphobic]

The title pretty much describes it, I was playing single player, had a power outage and when I went back into the game I was near my base at day 11 with everything there, but my char was a fresh new one. This is one of those bugs that can make someone stop playing a game and/or asking for a refund, so please handle it with care.

Don't play EearlyAccess games then, bugs are to be expected. :cocksure:

But in the mean time you could hit the F1 key on your keyboard, enter "cm" (aka creative mode) into the console that popped up and "giveselfxp 10000" until you are back at the level you were.

Then hit escape-key to exit the console, open up your inventory and klick on the symbol of a light bulb at the top of your screen (a new icon that is only there if you turn on creative mode). That is the creative menue. There you can get yourself back any items you lost because they were in the inventory, belt or worn on your previous toon.

Not a bug, so moving to the Support forum. The Sticky FAQ has info on how you might recover from that.
