Save abandom
« on: April 15, 2013, 11:08:31 am »

So I was building a beautifully fortress in a succession game with friends, and I passed my save on to one of them.
After his year the other guy could not find the save in DF only the world. So I checked it out and it looks like the fortress was abandoned.
My question is this. Have you ever had a corrupt save or heard of a corruption that makes you abandon the fortress ?
I really do not know what to think of this.

Thanks in advance.

The second guy probably quit the game by abandoning by accident.

It's much more likely that the last person to have the save accidentally or on purpose abandoned the fort.

You can reclaim the site, starting over with 7 new dwarves and the ability to resettle that fort, or you can start from the save previous to the last person's turn and undo their whole turn to unabandon the fortress.

If the person who abandoned the fort had autosave with backups turned on, you could grab the last autosave and salvage most of their turn, being careful not to abandon at the end.
