Hey there!
I'm very sorry about that, but the update somehow corrupted parts of the database, and after a long time of troubleshooting (also with the developer support team trying to figure it out), I decided to roll back to the last full backup I had, which meant the loss of about 10 days' worth of progress.
The LiF server files are quite delicate and very complicated, so it's not impossible it might happen again: but the next time I will make sure to back up everything before anything is touched by the update (I felt confident that it would work this time, and only backed it up after updating the actual server files - before the server restart).
There is a
Steam group where I post important announcements etc. so you can keep up to date with things concerning the server. Feel free to join it and/or add
me on Steam.
One of the other users also asked, and he lost quite a bit of progress (though he took it very kindly), so I offered him some help if he wanted, especially with things that take time like the gathering of crops and animals for example. I'd offer you the same.
