i made a copy of my foundry, the copy was just fine. i closed it out then went and deleted the original. after i did that i went back to edit the copy, when i did everything was gone. weeks of work gone. there was nothing wrong with the copy until i deleted the original. now i have nothing. i submitted 3 tickets for it, one the responses said to post here. not sure how that could possibly help. but i figured i would try. The title of it was Harvester of Sorrow. is there a way to undelete it? this seems to be a foundry bug , and seems like something support should do something about

    I have no idea :( That really sucks to lose all those hours of work.
    Just out of curiosity though, why did you delete the original? Why not delete the copy?

    i published it unfinished in like a beta. but people played it and a couple gave me only 3 stars due to it being unfinshed. it clearly said in big caps that it was beta and was a test, but people played it anyway. so i wanted to copy it, then not publish til it was 100% done. plus it got 9 plays with no objectives, so that was messing up the estimated times.

    I don't have any good advice for the missing quest but in the future, there is a better way to test a quest: use an invisible (or other if you prefer) wall to wall off the final chest. This prevents anyone from finishing the quest. Still keep your warning up, but that will catch the geniuses who don't read.

    I usually put a Marker Point up 500' above terrain and make a final Reach Point quest objective for that.
    Then I can also make the objective title be something like "BETA Cannot Be Completed - use minimap to exit"

    Edit: Also when you "closed out" the original...you didn't use the big red X in the upper right corner? The one that means "close" in EVERY APPLICATION ON THE PLANET except for Foundry where it means DELETE ? I've almost been burned by that a few times. :mad:

    Isn't this awfully close to what happened to... I think his name is Shorelong?

    Yes. I think it's spelled shorlong?
