Hello,

We have recently received numerous reports about missing save files caused by crashes and unexpected shutdowns.
To help resolve common issues, we have created the Nine Sols FAQ page[coda.io] to provide potential solutions.

We are planning to implement more convenient support for Nine Sols to help you fix the issue more quickly and efficiently.
Meanwhile, the development team will continue to work hard to provide an improved gaming experience.
Thank you all for your ongoing support.
