Hi hi @jade raft,
Thank you for bringing this to our attention!
Do you happen to have any videos or screenshots of the issue? If possible, a screenshot showing where the barns and coops were located previously and their current location would be really helpful.
Could you also share your Backup folder as a zip file here? You can find it in the same location as your DailySave file.
Thank you so much for your help!

Unfortunately, we do not have a screenshot of the previous location but I can provide a screenshot of the current layout. The coop was moved to the lowest right corner of the fenced in area.

That’s totally fine — your info is already very helpful! 
For the steps of the issue, could you let us know whether it was the host or a guest who moved the Coop and Barn?
After the building was moved, did all players go to sleep, save the day, and then close the session?
jade raft
It was the guest who moved the buildings and we're pretty sure we ended the session after going to bed and saving the day 🤔 like 80% sure we didn't play another day

Got it—thank you for sharing all the details! I’ll pass this along to the team for checking.

Thank you!

Hello @jade raft,
Quick update—the team tried to replicate the issue but couldn’t reproduce it on our end. 
If you happen to play again and the issue shows up, could you share a video of it? Steam’s built-in recorder works, but a phone-recorded clip is perfectly fine too.
In the meantime, we’ll keep an eye out for any similar reports. Thanks so much for your help!

Hio!
My partner and I had the same issue. We have a Coop in almost the exact same formation as Ha-Ve. Our coop went missing with 9 quail in it. There was a weird issue where my Guest was using the arcitect desk to reposition the animal shelters (Coops and Barns) But then he went to move a coop, didn't like the placement and backed out of the desk to cancel the transaction. Once he did, he went back into the desk to try to move the coop, put it in the right place and committed his changes. It seems like when he did the commit on the second attempt, it overwrote the barn on top of the coop and he wasn't able to see them. I (as the host) came back onto the farm from underwater to see if I could fix it and I was able to successfully fix it on MY screen, but on his, he was glitching where he would go into the barn and come out of the coop. I was not having this problem and I was able to go into my quail coop just fine with no issues. THEN we went to sleep to save the game... loaded it back up and the quail coop was completely gone for both of us. I tried loading the game back up as just me and it was still gone, I tried visiting the carpeter to see if I could "adjust" the coop but it was not present.
Reproduction steps: See above Although we're not really willing to try to reproduce it and lose more barns/coops

Hello @gaunt crag and @indigo cobalt
Thanks so much for the detailed breakdown — that really helps us understand what happened 🙏
To investigate this further, could you please share a bit more info with us?
- Do you happen to have any video or screenshots when the issue happened?
- Could you share a video or screenshot of the barn/coop positions before the guest moved them, and the position where the building was placed right before it disappeared?
- Could you please also share your Backup files?
They’re located in the same folder as your DailySave. You can simply zip the Backup folder and drop it here.
This will help the team dig deeper into the issue. Thank you again for taking the time to report this! 🙌

We don't have any videos or screenshots sadly because it happened over the course of only a couple days and we realized issues too late to document
We'll check for the backup file right now!
Thanks so much for getting back to us quickly!

Here's a zip of our backups from the last few days! Great thinking!! Thankfully since it just happened yesterday, you can see our status from 11/28 to see the before/after (And maybe we can restore the game from one of these backups??)
heavy marlin
Thank you so much for the confirmation and for sharing the save files @indigo cobalt @gaunt crag — really appreciate it! 🙌
And yes, if you'd like to revert your progress, you can definitely do that on Steam by loading a Backup file. Here’s how:
- Sort your Backup files by Date Modified and pick the most recent one from before the issue happened.
- Copy that Backup file into your SaveGames folder.
- Rename it to follow the save format:
DailySave_[number].sav
(Make sure the number doesn’t conflict with any existing save files.) - After renaming, it should appear in your game as a loadable save.
If you do revert to the backup and manage to reproduce the issue again, a short recording would help us a lot in understanding the exact steps — but no pressure at all if it’s difficult to capture.
Please let me know if you run into any trouble while loading the backup. I’ll also forward your files and details to the team for further checking. Thank you again!

Thanks a million for all of this help. We love this game so much and I'm a min/maxer to a fault so getting back my lvl 3 coop with 9 quails will be so nice 😂
I'll do my best to just OBS record while we play the next time we get around to it!
