Hi Venom100320,
When reporting bugs, please use the guide provided (see Lockspur's post above or the link - https://7daystodie.com/forums/showthread.php?47268-IMPORTANT-Please-read-BEFORE-posting ) for the kind of information we look for.
When you say you lost everything, was the area your base in reset to Day 1? This is likely an MD5 error.
Or did you lose all your levels and skills from the crash? This normally only occurs when you are a client in a multiplayer game
If it is something else entirely, please elaborate.
Please also let me know what console you are playing on.
Thank you,
Clare

I lost half my base and I lost all my chest that where in my base that had a bunch of resources the day I was on 30 and i was the host of the game and the 24 hours was set to 60 the game would make a weird sound like a stuttering sound and then send me back to the home screen to where I would have to reload the game back up I was playing the game on my Xbox one x and it is currently hard wired to my internet

Hi Venom1000320,
What you experienced was indeed an MD5, this is an error that has multiple triggers, but the most common cause on XB1 is from the regular crashes within the game.
Many of the MD5 triggers have already been fixed in previous patches and the team are working on the remaining ones as well as the crashing issue that often triggers them. The team and I know how frustrating this issue can be for players, and it remains a top priority for the team.
In the mean time, players on XB1 found a way to work around the MD5 errors. While not ideal, if performed immediately after a crash it can prevent the MD5 error from taking hold. As this is a player found workaround caution is advised but many players have avoided the MD5 error using this method - https://7daystodie.com/forums/showthread.php?69218-Possible-work-around-and-or-solution-to-md5-crashes(base-wipes-resets)
Similarly, players have said they avoid crashes by logging out and hard resetting the console or clearing the cache (shutting down and unplugging for 5 mins before rebooting) when they see an indicator for the crash. These indicators include - menus not displaying correctly / menus flickering / severe weather changes / animals no longer spawning / not spawning correctly.
As well as the two methods of avoidance mentioned above, players have also reported that clearing the cache before playing a multiplayer session helps too. In the event of a MD5 error occuring, some players have noted that the error has centred on crafting stations / crafting areas the player has created and have said spreading out active stations and resources so they are not all kept in the one area has also helped.
I am sorry you have been hit by the MD5 error. As I said, I know how frustrating and disheartening this is for players. If you have any questions, I will do my best to answer them.

What is the best option for me to do before the crash happens should I just close out the game or reset my game every 5 days

You may need to check to see what works for you. Some players find they can time the crashes, others fine they are more random. If you can time yours I would recommend clearing the cache before it occurs, that should reset the countdown, that should minimise the crashes and then if they happen to occur you have the workaround listed above as a backup - keep in mind, that workaround is very time sensitive as XB1 can sync data to the cloud very quickly.

I play on the Xbox version too and I rarely experience this issue but hopefully I can help you with it. First of all I must ask whether your base is something that you built or is it a pre-built base (game generated), Second are you in Single player, single player Co-op, or are you in a public or private server, Third was your base built within the current version (1.0.18.0), Finally fourth how big is your base and how much stuff is in it(decorations, blocks, items, size of base, etc.). I find these to be major factors of errors within the game, or you could be experiencing a MD5 error or possibly your world data is corrupt. I really hope I helped you out or at least tried too as well as Clare with your issue and I hope it's resolved. Till' then good luck and happy gaming,

The big bomb is right at least in my experience. Are you above or below ground? Also did you use any explosives when building? That always sets it off for me, or removing big chunks of dirt around my base.
