My guess as to the seemingly disappearing tools for those who had tool upgrades in process before the update & logged in to play new stuff but haven’t been able to get their tool back (disappearing tools)
adding edit here further thought on this, all such lost tools = corrupt = cant get back (aka why devs recommend new files each update bc theres always a chance something can go wrong during update corrupting certain data)
- Because the tool was at the blacksmith - this made it not in your inventory at time of update.
- As we know from the #❓coral-faq , anything not in your inventory or on your farm at the time of an update will NOT be safe from potential resets
- it is extremely likely that tool you were upgrading is now lost &/deleted from your save file
- it’s possible (but I’ve yet to see a report of this happening) that you can still see & use the ‘retrieve lost tools’ option at the blacksmiths to possibly replace your missing tool (but if it’s deleted from game this wouldn’t work anyways)
- it is still possible the devs are currently working on a fix for this BUT it is also possible there will not be a fix available for this
- this particular bug issue was NOT found during beta (so may not be fixable)
- most likely you’ll need to just ignore that save file & start a new one (comes with the territory when playing early access games)
- if you don’t want to do that yet, then wait until we get an update of some form ( #📣announcements #📋coral-changelist etc) I’m regards to a patch / hot fix
Please bear in mind I am NOT a dev, just a player who is good at trouble shooting
