I lost my in-game data (kinda)

[Topis]

I opened dst to feed my kitcoon who was around 580 days old but my kitcoon wasn't there. You might think i missed him around 4 days and he left me but that's not it. Then i realized every item in item collection has "new" label on them. All of my clothing presets are gone. It's like i logged in from another pc. I know there was something wrong with forums, maybe it's related to klei servers. Here are the screenshots i just took.

It happened to me before forums got messed up. Was really annoying and i couldn’t be bothered to reset all my outfits.

That's interesting i just launched DST and my Wilson's character outfit was reset.

And ONLY Wilson's every one else kept their outfits but Wilson was back to default 

(I had him dressed up in WX's skin and his Survivor head skin to look like he's wearing power armor - i sitll own all these items so there was no reason why it reverted the outfit to default)

Not playing per se just hopped in to get the login drop.

The lobby pet, cosmetic presets and The Gorge recipes are stored locally. Must be some trouble related to reading the settings.

Do you have any idea about how to solve this problem? I don't want my kitcoon to die

[Captain_Rage]

I've dug around a bit but haven't found which file(s) might be responsible. :v

Technically it doesn't die, it just goes on an adventure to different lands. 
Did you transition from a beta branch to a main branch, or vice versa? The information for those is stored differently, I think.

Yeah i know he doesn't die but i have been feeding him since the day kitcoons added to the game. That's not only kitcoon, i lost everything that stores locally (i think). And i didn't transition to beta or anything. What if it happens again? I just wanna know the solution for this problem.

The Collar Me Impressed (kitcoon) mini-game data and Curio Cabinet Clothing Presets are stored in:

%UserProfile%\Documents\Klei\DoNotStarveTogether\<Steam3ID>\client_save\profile
[or]
%UserProfile%\Documents\Klei\DoNotStarveTogetherBetaBranch\<Steam3ID>\client_save\profile [if opted into the updatebeta branch]

where <Steam3ID> is the Z component of your Steam ID: https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/SteamID. 

Similar situation with Gorge recipes.  They are stored locally in:

%UserProfile%\Documents\Klei\DoNotStarveTogether\<Steam3ID>\client_save\recipebook
[or]
%UserProfile%\Documents\Klei\DoNotStarveTogetherBetaBranch\<Steam3ID>\client_save\recipebook [if opted into the updatebeta branch]

If these files are deleted or overwritten (which is what it looks like in your case), then you'll lose your kitcoon, clothing preset, and/or gorge recipe data. 

You can always backup these files if you want to prevent losing your kitcoon data.  Or alternatively make a new kitcoon and use console commands to modify the new one to match your original kitcoon:

Spoiler

To change your kitcoon's appearance:  

Profile:SetKitBuild("kitcoon_forest_build") 
[or "kitcoon_savanna_build", "kitcoon_deciduous_build", "kitcoon_marsh_build", "kitcoon_grass_build", "kitcoon_rocky_build", "kitcoon_desert_build", "kitcoon_moon_build", "kitcoon_yot_build"]

To change your kitcoon's age:

Profile:SetKitBirthTime(#)

where # is the unix timestamp (integer) of your kitcoon's birthdate.

To change your kitcoon's happiness, hunger, or size:

Profile:SetKitHappiness(#) 
Profile:SetKitHunger(#) 
Profile:SetKitSize(#)

where # is between 0 and 1 for happiness or hunger and between 0.3 and 1.2 for size.

While the game should auto-save after using any of the above commands, you can also manually save to make sure your changes are preserved with:

Profile:Save()

It's best to use these commands while not on the mini-game screen. Otherwise, your kitcoon's appearance won't update until you next exit and re-enter the mini-game.

It’s a bug with the game that’s impacting more than just PC, before you lost all your data you had to re-agree to the games EULA agreement again didn’t you? And when you did… you lost your Kitcoon, saved worlds, and clothing presets.

Unfortunately unless your on PC there’s no way to get this info back, but luckily your skins weren’t also erased so you can just re-equip them to your characters.

First of all, thank you so much for your effort.

I found the file named "profile". Can i somehow make the game read this file (if that's the problem). Since i don't understand the data stored inside this file, i wanted to ask if deleting and restoring the file fixes the problem. I'll be waiting for your answer.

Deleting that file won't help as the game generates a new "profile" file if one doesn't exist.

But, if you have a backup of the "profile" file from before you lost your kitcoon, then yes restoring the backup will bring it back (at least to the state at the time of the backup, though it might be starving or even abandoned you if it wasn't put into hibernation before the backup as it won't have been taken care of since the backup).

If you have no backup, then you'll have to adopt a new kitcoon and use the console commands from my last post to modify it back to your original one.

damn this happened to me too.i have kitcoon the first and the last one. mine was deleted due to power outage when in game .. maybe game doesnt close properly that make something corrupted. i was so sad that the kitcoon i took care just went away. never coming back for it  no more kitcoon for me ..
