I've tried looking through this forum for the answer but nothing thus far has matched.
The facts:
* I added a mod (not KEE) which caused problems.
* I resorted to a backed up save file (saved to an external harddrive)
* When I reloaded the save, my entire base of 20 survivors no longer exist.
* Have tried multiple attempts to uninstall and reinstall PZ, KEE and have even uninstalled steam.
* I have even deleted the files after uninstalling PZ and steam.

I am considering factory resetting windows and possibly a fresh install of windows 11 entirely.

TL;DR : My survivor group disappeared after using a save back-up

Thanks in advance

How old is the save?

How old is the save?

9 days old. I hope we can get this resolved, I've had these NPCs since week one and have grown to like them.

I guess nobody has an answer. As I don't want to do all of that work over again and risk having another survivor group vanish, i'll just write this mod off.

The next patch will include a method for recovering npcs that were saved on 42.4.1. I have tested it on a few saves others have sent me and it seems to work.

I want to remind you that the mod is still in alpha and, on top of that, on an unstable branch of the game. These things will happen, even if I try my best to avoid it.

During the last two months, I have learned a lot about how to handle this in a good way e.g. by adding version headers to all data saved, so it's easier to handle different version separately. However, at the end of the day, I don't control what Indie Stone changes and have to adapt the best I can. It is because of this I can't leave any guarantees that there will not be any data loss.

All of my NPCs in my group disappear with every reload. Brand new saves today, fully updated game. Any idea why? I reinstalled yesterday to no avail

Well this is interesting. If I choose Load instead of Continue, the NPCs are there when the save loads.
