Hello! Thanks for reporting. Will be fixed in the next version (but sorry, savegames from 0.10.4 will be incompatible with next version as we do many changes in the game code and scripts).

To fix a broken savegame, you can modify savegame data manually:
1. open saved folder and locate folder with broken savegame data.
2. rename "world.data" to "world.data.zip".
3. extract it and open "data" file in editor (the Notepad++ works good for such a big file);
4. find all strings like this and replace "true" with "false":
Code: [Select]

"isDead": true

5. save the "data" file and add it to "world.data.zip" archive (with overwrite of current value). Save!
6. rename "world.data.zip" to "world.data".
7. enjoy recovered savegame! (after loading your ship will blow up and respawn on the last visited space station)

Regards!

I cant for the life of me figure out wtf this guy is talking about, i downloaded notepad++ and the language is alien, like something out of a movie, its not even a recognizable human language and so i can not change any "True" to "False" because there is no english words used in the document. I need help figuring this out bcuz i spent 30 hours so far in void expanse trying to just mine asteroids and kill pirates and i had an orca hull with a 70k hull sitting in my storage, one skill point away from using heavy cruisers. please help me figure this out! Maybe i need to change a setting or something in order to change the language of the document??? please anything help me.

Good day.

I'm sorry to hear that you are having this problem.

From what you described it seems to me you didn't unzip world.dat first, before editing it, you need to unzip it first as was explained in the piece of text you copied.
Then edit that value. And then zip back and rename back.

But either way that problem was fixed already... could you maybe wait another week or so until we release a new version? It should be okay then.
Though, saves won't be compatible between the current stable version and the new one.

Thank you
I'm sure with the new version it will be okay, not to mention that there are a ton of new stuff in there as well

Found a new bug, or maybe the game updated and im not aware, played for about 5 hours, 1-3 yesterday, 2 today. After i saved and quit, been chillin out for about an hour or so, went to load up my world and much to my agony and despair, my save file is corrupted XP Still enjoying the game though, I found the cargo ship with 450 cargo so it made getting back to my previous save level pretty quick, sure i can do it again.
