RESOLVED [YLD-8263] Parallel universe single player save game

Question

Normally I always play Ylands on my PC, but last weekend I was away and only had my laptop with me. So decided to play some Ylands on my laptop. Logged in with my Steam account  that I normally use on my PC and to my surprise I could actually load up my single player world and continue with where I left off. After a few hours decided to stop and let my character in a seating position sit next to my house, and logged off. So, now I'm back home and wanted to play Ylands again on my PC. Started it up and entered my world. When the world was loaded though it showed me the character creation menu, I figured I must have died when I was offline because i saw some post here where this has happened  to a few people in multiplayer. 

well bugs and glitches can happen in early access so no worries I will just create a new character get to my house and pick my stuff back up. But her comes the sad part, I got back to the place where I last logged of and there was no stuff there at all not even a stone with my name on it. 

But now I gets interesting. 2 days ago I still had all my stuff in my inventory on my laptop. Now 2 days later when I started the game up it was all gone. So decided to do some testing what if I started Ylands up on my laptop what will happen then, will it all be gone there as well. Remember that at the beginning off this post I mentioned that I logged of in a seating position next to my house. well, when I opened the world on my laptop my entire inventory was empty which is what I expected but now my character was in the exact same position sitting where i left him 2 days ago.  

I have no clue what caused this bug, the only thing I know is that I've lost all my stuff and my Ylands has turned into some weird parallel universe. I'm scared.

Stranger Things 3? :P

Please send us your save game file and the following files: output_log and output_log_clean, you can find them in the directory \Program Files(86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Ylands\Ylands_Data

The more files the better, so the ones from your laptop are also welcome.

Since nobody answered back then I will just clarify how it behaved back then and how it behaves now. 
In past game was present only on steam platform -> saves were synced through steam cloud. Character was "baked" in the map data and it was not properly serialized so it could often happen it just did not load at all.
Back in 2018 issue with serialization was fixed but since the game started to use system where player can travel to other maps later on -> system was obsolete. 
Player and his ship (and all his progress like tech tree etc) is saved on our backend so you can safely travel on any device/platform (mobile, steam, Windows store). 
Saves are only local though you can still sync them through steam to other devices (but that is only on steam, saves will not transfer to other platforms, unless you do it manually).
Suffice to say, issue is obsolete for a long time.
