Resources disappeared after the update.

Post by Sinkha »

I've been playing with the SpaceExploration and Krastorio2 mods for quite a while. Yesterday, I decided to update the mods, and after loading my save, all the resources on the map and on the planets disappeared. I've been playing on this save for around 400 hours, and I don't want to start over. Is there a way to restore the resources? Perhaps there's a command to generate the resources somehow?

Probably best to load a previous file, do you have autosaves?

I have many saves, but no matter which one I load, the resources are still missing. They appear on the map, but when I approach them, they disappear.

You can control-click on the sync mods button, which will install the exact mod versions you had. I'd recommend staying there if updating is causing problems.

In the save menu, this button is gray. It says that the mods are up-to-date. The version is different, but the mods themselves are present. Is there a way to install mods for specific versions?

If you disable all mods, then the control-click trick for synchronizing mods should work.

I tried disabling the mods and then enabling them using the "Sync" button, but it didn’t help.

It seems like the update somehow broke the map. Does anyone know how to restore or regenerate resources using commands?

Updating mods or game does nothing to your save files. If you follow the instructions exactly as given and it does not work, post a public link to a save file you did not overwrite since the last time it worked.

Here is the link to my save file.
This save was definitely working before the update.
You can verify this by looking at the stone moving along the belt.

You have to Control-click on the sync button to get it to match mod versions.
