I had the same issue, after 30hrs of gameplay started my morning trying to startup my game and only to find out that my save files are not present. Did a little digging and it seems like the save folder structure has changed.
I was able to find my old save files under:
C:\My Games\Farthest Frontier\Save
Copied the entire folder which my town was named after:
Baltia_2022278193332
Pasted it in the new location:
C:\Users\YourUser\Documents\My Games\Farthest Frontier\Save
Was just about to list the fixing steps
Not sure whether Windows Defender, Steam, or FF has created this folder with all the saved games:
D:\My Games\Farthest Frontier\Save (mine on D:\ since this is where my steam saves games)
Great, that was the solution - thanks a lot!
Would have been a pity - finally a semi functioning settlement and then the save is gone.
I also did some more research and noticed the following: Windows Defender’s folder protection started blocking the Farthest Frontier .exe since yesterday. But I know too little about it to judge if this is related.
In any case, thanks again for the help and have fun playing!
The game is already fun, I can hardly wait to see what will be added until the release.
No, more likely OneDrive was messing with your saves if that’s where you found them. If it was, then disable or uninstall that progamme. It’s known for hi-jacking the Documents folder.
The default save location for the game has always been My Documents\My Games\Farthest Frontier\Save
