Another day, another broken save file

[Antstar]

I looked through the available threads and can't find the answer to this.

I corrupted my save. I finally found a save that was recent and (I think unbroken). I may have interfered with my meatdata file by accident, but either way, now I have a nice new error. I tried replacing the metadata file with the ones for quicksave and jumptoship. No luck.

I opened it - there really isn't that much there. Can I reconstruct it?

Spoiler

saveMD5 = d016fe4e590354b784d539a083d27041

vesselCount = 0

UT = -1

gameMode = CAREER

gameNull = False

gameCompatible = True

funds = 0

science = 0

reputationPercent = 0

ongoingContracts = 0

saveMD5 = d016fe4e590354b784d539a083d27041

Looking at the numbers, maybe this was what was broken?

Anyway, thanks for any advice.

 

EDIT - I got it working with a different save and metadata. But I would still be interested to know if this can be reconstructed from the savefile?

Yeah, you can’t really mix and match metafiles as far as my experience goes.

I guess reverting to an earlier save fixed it?
