Server On Private Game

18 hours of day 50 minutes long days Zombie spawn on normal medium- Later disabled 24 loot drops. 7 days later lowered to the lowest loot respawn with 200% loot everything else i didnt mess with what ever the default is set to. Creative mode disabled

I occupied the floor of the hospital with the chem bench and the offices/rooms of that floor with the lower levels blocked off or stairwells destroyed. On the floor of the 3rd floor i placed catwalks on top of the prefab wood from the chem station to the door of the balcony to keep anything from spawning in . Storage room i use is a seperate room from my campfires and workbenches and forge The Perimeter of my defense is on the ground floor below the balcony with the chairs and tables outside and my mine enterence is in the courtyard in the back. On the ground floor inside my defense the dirt has been replaced with sod and concert walls and an upgraded garage door with barbed wire and spike walls line the outside. When the first MD5 spectre appeared i was on the ground upgrading my spiked walls when it crashed. I didnt know about the work around about the hard reset but i was familur with the MD5 from a previous game when the summer 1 update and kinda walked away. Once i got on again i noticed it reset sections in a checkered pattern looked like every other section from the chem station to the road that is over looked the balcony was reset. I could tell with the apperence of the doors i once destoryed and now missing catwalks. It also took my fertilizer i was crafting from the chem station... my work benches/ forge and my ammo box in the storage area. Instead of quiting i just simply said screw it. I exited it the game and went back in and disabled zombie spawns abd lowered the loot respawn and increased the day to 2 hrs..to me it wasnt fair that suddenly my defenses and my crafting staion was gone. I replaced everything lost ie the ammo box, mixer forge work bench cat walks sod and the defenses outside. Then i started to make more fertilizer in the chem bench 25 more all at once. I went back to going about rebuilding when i was looking at the work bench. It crashed.. hard reset like it said came back this time it was just the chem station and crafting room.. day 22 present day i found enough nitro powder to make 15 fertilizer and moved the crafting station out of the previous room to another on a different section.. replaced the ammo box again hoping maybe just maybe i can go back to the game when it did it again randomly as i was trying to place the garage door on the ground level.. Hard reset ammo box gone again... and my fertilizer that was crafting... when your team finds this MD5 spectre... beat it until it gives me back my fertilizer... im getting tired of eating cat food...

 
Just curious, but when the crashes happened did you attempt the work around (Go immediately to manage game menu and delete the local save) or did you do a hard reset first. I have found that if you do the hard reset, sometimes it gives the game enough time to write the new local save to the cloud. The work around is time sensitive, and in order for it to be effective you must delete the local save before it has a chance to write it to the cloud. If you did do this, then perhaps the game and the MD5 is getting more intelligent and angrier at us. lol!

Anyway, best of luck rebuilding and happy hunting. As to the fertilizer issue, you can gather a bunch from the burnt biome, just look for the little black dots on the map screen, you can see the fertilized ground and you can just dig it up. I gathered 200+ from a random gen this week. Of course, my farmm needs about ten times that but who's counting.

 
Hi Wbovell,

Thank you for taking the time to submit the details of your save and the MD5s that hit it. I'm sorry your save has been effected by this error.

As Sandman2838 mentioned above a hard reset on the XB1 is sometimes enough to give the saves time to backup to the cloud. In case you have not seen it, the workaround for deleting local save files was documented by players here - https://7daystodie.com/forums/showthread.php?69218-Possible-work-around-and-or-solution-to-md5-crashes(base-wipes-resets) - as this is a player workaround and an unofficial one, caution is advised when using it.
