Steam cloud save issue
Checked my account cloud save history
and found save stopped in May despite I have been keep playing daily basis.
then suddenly could save started again today, over written my save,
lost all my progress since May. I was shocked hard seeing my buildings I spent a lot of time
just disappeared.
Found save files .old in local. too late I've already restarted game twice to see if it helps to recover.
Backup option maybe 5 or more generation would be helpful (not on steam)
or I will keep my saves rotated by myself (if I still can get motivation to continue playing)
asking steam support with little hope of recovery

Thank you for your suggestion ! I did have one restore point, but no luck. it did not have
the correct save data.

Was that a system restore point, or a previous version of the folder?

Steam Cloud is pretty terrible. Valve doesn't do much to improve it because 90% of the time people get mad at the individual games despite it being a problem with Valve's system.
I had that crap happen with No Man's Sky and Steams Cloud, so it has been off with all games since.
I'd highly suggest leaving it off in the future on all games unless you have an absolute need for it.

I had no previous folder version restore point. so, I what I tried was System restore.
Thank you for your another suggestion.
@Weaver
Thank you & Agreed. I will be careful not to enable cloud save from now on.

Windows might have an automated backup if you can view previous versions of the folder your world/character save files are in. The process is a bit complicated, so you will want to look it up.
