  The same happened to me.
  
  Do the outpost save to the individual computer you are playing on?

  Thankfully yes, but it still won't show up in the game

  Hey Dev's, any update on how to get the game to recognize my 2nd outpost? As stated above the save is still there but the game doesn't see it. I'd love to get back to that build, and I daren't make any new ones as I can't be sure the same won't happen again

  Hey Dale, I'll pass this onto a dev today to look into! Possibly won't be any fixes asap, but I'll try to keep you posted.

  Hey @Dale, I've chatted to a dev about this. Could you please try renaming the save file for the one that isn't working - it's possible there's a letter in the filename that is causing problems (ie symbols like $%\_ etc)
  - Renaming the file is safe but to be extra safe you could duplicate the file and give the duplicate a simple name just with a-z characters and no symbols.

  Hey @Elissa, renaming was the first thing I tried. The filename is either sumatra.extension or sumatrakade.extension (can't recall the extension from memory) so I'd be doubtful of this being the cause.
  
  One other point to note is that the 2nd day (Sunday) it loaded fine, only disappeared on the 3rd day after creation (Monday), with Saturday (post-update) being day one, suggesting a time factor but making it unlikely a full update caused the issue, however any hotfix during that time may have contributed.
  
  I'd really like to play the game again but can't devote myself to spend any time on stuff that disappears, particularly in the supposedly 'permanent' part of the game.
  
  If you add persistent bases in the full game, even offline, that would be an acceptable shot-term substitute ;P

  So your Outpost has a period . in it?

  No, it's in the format of file.csv I just used .extension as I couldn't remember the file type
  
  Assuming the file type is .icarus, the filename is either sumatra.icarus or sumatrakade.icarus, but the filename itself has nothing special (it's just either sumatra or sumatrakade)
