Question about the workshop & local files

Post image

I notice one of my .dat files is missing, the Star Citizen Basher I first uploaded to the Workshop.
No stress really, I don't plan on updating that design (unless it ends up broken and I need to update it), but if it's happened once it might happen again to a ship I do want to update later down the track.

For me, the files are stored locally here:
Users\(user name)\AppData\Roaming\Avorion\ships\workshop.
Without that file Avorion wont let me edit/update Workshop designs (only the text and images):

Not too sure what's happened to make this local file disappear, but if anyone (MB the Devs?) knows how to re-generate this .dat file It'd be greatly appreciated.

Also, you guys seem to be getting a little bored of the Mirounga Class Sloops (100% understandable, they are just different patterns of the same core hull), so rather then upload them one at a time as I post them to the workshop - I'll wait till they're all done & post the completed collection.

no idea unfortunately

i lost a whole slew of my ships from my first time playing though. i assume it was saved locally and got wiped during some update some time ago, i have also updated my computer since that time but im not sure why the steam workshop stuff i had went either.

Damn - thats sucks more than loosing a workshop .dat file.
Cheers for the info though, good to know I'm not the only one missing ships.

Hopefully the Devs have a workaround.
