So I reported a bug a while back that my sandbox was completely wiped and I could not recover it.

Link: https://www.simplerockets.com/Feedback/View/7D8FzT/Sandbox-Reset

The issue was dismissed(understandably) because the bug couldn't be recreated.
However this time I have consistently recreated the bug and here are the steps:
Note: I live in a country where sudden power losses are common, so keep that in mind.
Steps to replicate:
1) Be in flight
2) Shut down (not close the game or shut down windows, but literally turn off the power, I replicated this by pulling the plug from my PC).

This wouldn't be such a bother if only the current flight got reset but instead, it reset the entire sandbox and the old one was unrecoverable. (also reset settings to default). At this point, my sandbox has been reset 6-7 times.

Thanks again and hopefully this can get fixed, I know it's a very niche issue but it's such a pain ;-;

    @AndrewGarrison That might be it

    Dev Notes: It looks to me like the game may have crashed while saving a file, leaving it in a partially written state, so the game cannot read it as it thinks it is invalid
