So I haven't played in a while, but way back I had made a separate file for system editing before the full 4.88 came out. Now that the full version is out, I went back to the file and decided to play it, but all the edits I made were gone. It took me like 16 hours and a lot of thinking (I had to find out how to make a system all by myself) and I would hate to have lost it. I checked the .ini files that I had still open in Notepad ++, and it appeared that the bases and solars I had inserted into those files were gone as well.
If possible, I would like to find out why this happened and how or if I can get the edits back. It means a lot. Thanks!
