#

am i using worlds, backups, or saves?

pearl locust
#

saves is for character saves

fickle ermine
#

ah ok

pearl locust
#

backups i believe are just copies of existing files in the various folders

fickle ermine
#

so worlds it is,

pearl locust
#

all .pugbackup files are the backups for their corresponding file

fickle ermine
#

then how would i implement the backup?

pearl locust
#

move 0.world.gzip somewhere safe like desktop just in case and then remove the .pugbackup from the name of the backup so it just reads 0.world.gzip like the normal one

#

but judging by the datestamps it may have already saved when the last world save occurred

fickle ermine
#

i made a copy of my world as soon as i alt-f4ed when the boss destroyed my entire base 😭

#

sincei had no idea how to fix it i figured that was the best i could do, having experienced terraria

fickle ermine
#

i went back into the world and went back to see if everything was destroyed

#

so most likely ill drag the backup file from my copy

#

and move these files ontop my desktop

#

then rename the backup and that should do the trick right?

pearl locust
#

as long as it has 0.world.gzip the game will read that as the world file and create a new .pugbackup on load

#

just have to cross your finger the .pugbackup you have doesn't have the boss damage saved to it yet

fickle ermine
#

oh no

#

well the files are different

#

one was at 6:02 and the other was at 6:16

pearl locust
#

the one you hurridly made a copy of is the earliest version of the backup

#

the one in the game save directory looks to have been more recent

fickle ermine
#

i appreciate all of your help. turns out the copy worked, however the world saved as soon as i closed it after i died and the boss had destroyed everything. unforunate and will probably just try and recover as much as i can

#

thanks again you were a huge help
