I recently overwrite a save on factorio by accident and now I want it back anyone know how? ( I have a steam backup but I tried to use it and it didn't work)

Sadly overwritten is overwritten. No chance to get it back :(.

Unless you manually copied it sometimes.

And the steambackup is for the game folder (iirc) and not the %appdata% folder (wich is where the saves are stored), wich is a good thing normally, because you can reinstall your game with it and do not lose your saves.

I do now know that the backup did'nt work because I did it with more than one game so all is lost thanks for trying anyway.
