Gah, my world!
« on: January 25, 2011, 01:18:12 am »
I saved my game, but then I had to turn my computer off quickly so I didn't bother to exit DF when I shut down...
Now, when I look for my save file it's not int he list. The folder is still in the folder though.

Is there any way to fix this?

No. Your entire game is stored in RAM until you Save and Exit. The only option would be if you had autosave enabled, which I'm guessing you don't or there'd be an option for loading available to you already.

But it should be easy enough not to use them in a way you feel is dumb while letting other people have their hilarity.

Darn. I guess that means the file's corrupted for good.

Use these to control the automatic saving behavior in the dwarf fortress mode of game.  AUTOSAVE can be set to NONE, SEASONAL or YEARLY.  This updates your save at these intervals, so that some of your progress will be saved in case of system instability.  You can set AUTOBACKUP to YES if you want the updated save to be copied to another folder so that you'll have several copies of your world at different times. 

[AUTOSAVE:?]
[AUTOBACKUP:?]

Have them on YES? You're good.
Have one of them on NO?
