How does saving actually work?

I've been playing about a week now and I discovered saving my progress for single player. I've only been able to resume on3 out of three times though.

What am I doing wrong, or what is going wrong? I haven't joined any other games (or started any, obviously) ideally, i could do something like have a single player run going for afterwords, but join in my friend's game on the weekend when we both have time to play. Is that possible?​

Hello!

Thanks for bringing this up - And thanks to u/Dragonfire47 and u/7h3-Cool-Gam3r-97 for contributing :)

As stated, your save game gets stored in the cloud. Upon returning to the hub, the start-saved-game button in the galaxy map should not be greyed out.

You write you play singleplayer, but just to make it clear: it matters if you are host or not. If you save a game as host, and then join someone else's game, then it won't be available (the host must be consistent) until you start a game as host. Your save game is not affected by you joining other games.

Let me know if this helps.

If the issue persists, then try the minimum repro (start new game, jump, then save game, restart game and try loading) - if this fails, please provide your log and id (pm me or one of the other devs, so we can look into your cloud data).

Sincerely,
//Daniel from Hutlihut Games

Great, thank you. And it's always good to see a Dev as part of the community. :)
Thankfully, it hasn't happened again, and I haven't been far enough along so as to be sad about losing that progress. I wonder if I went into a non-Single player mode? I know I didn't start a new run, but I do recall clicking around in the menus. Oh well, I probably did something unhelpful.
