Rifle disappeared but now I have a second barrier generator

[Butifnot 0]

Last night the game kicked me out and I got a message that there was maintenance being performed. I came back today and my rifle and all the bullets are gone - nothing else. No, it wasn't in my hands. Plus, I now have a broken barrier generator. My original is still in place and in working order. I fear that after a LOT of time and labor my game will blow up and I will lose all of my progress.

when maintenances occur, is normal to loose some progress made just before it.

Everyone got a new barrier with this mini-update.

How best to use the new barrier do you suppose?
