Lost all my buildings

Hi,
I was playing when the energy shut down all eletronics in my house. So, when the energy came back and i relogged at game, all my buildings, items, etc, was lost, since the first house i did until the last house (where i was when i got dc)

Anyone can help me??

Was it a multiplayer server or singleplayer? I know singleplayer saves the world at a timely manner and if you did all of that before the next save, then RIP indeed. That stuff is lost unless you have a backup copy of your save.

What I would do first is close the game immediately, prior to the next autosave happening.

Then, you can check if you have a suitable auto-backup world file. (Check date and time of the file). Typically in a folder such as:
C:\Users\YourName\AppData\LocalLow\IronGate\Valheim\worlds

However, since cloud saves are used, I am not sure how that would work. Probably other people can help more than me. ;p

Ok, if you have cloud saves activated, potential world recovery should be something as follow (as per the Bugs and Technical Issues forum):
Download the backup files from cloud storage . You have to be signed into steam in your browser.
Look for Valheim, look to the right, and click the 'show files' button.
Look for a database (.db) and .fwl file that includes "backup" in the name and download them.

Should be formatted something like this (mines gonna show different dates/times):
"IronGate/Valheim/worlds/Myworld_backup_20220627-195041.fwl"
&
"IronGate/Valheim/worlds/Myworld_backup_20220627-195041.db".

In windows file explorer go to "C:\Users\"your name here"\AppData\LocalLow\IronGate\Valheim". You should find worlds folders; 'worlds' & 'worlds_local' make a copy of these folders and save them somewhere like your desktop or whatever just to be safe and have a backup in case things go awry.
Delete your worlds files in both world folders (not the copy you just made). Just delete the files for the world you're trying to restore, leave other ones you may have alone. Do this for both worlds folders.
Take those .db and .fwl files you downloaded and rename them to whatever your worlds name is but be sure they remain a .db file and a .fwl file and paste them into both of those 'worlds' folders you found here: "C:\Users\"your name here"\AppData\LocalLow\IronGate\Valheim"
Then hold onto your butt and start the game. You should have everything back.
