Ape Apps

This is Chrome OS. There is no hidden directory containing an MCB file, I even have developer mode on this machine, dropped to a shell and did a search for *.mcb on the entire file system as root and came up empty.

It seems ridiculous that the game can see it enough to delete it, but forces you to an external file explorer to load it!

Nothing happens. You're stuck at the same spot. I've also tried moving the game to another device (from chrome os to android) and back, no luck. There seems to be nothing that can be done once you get in that spot other than to watch all your colonists slowly starve to death.

I just restarted from scratch, got another full day of game play in on a new map, and ended up at the same problem again. Another full day out the window.

I'm starting to think I should just give up on this game. It's fun, but this bug is a show stopper (literally). I'll have to find a different game, because I can't just keep re-starting and wishing for a different result.

I play on chromeos. As I mentioned in another thread, my colony is stuck unable to build anything, the bots just won't respond. I seem to have also stopped producing food for some unknown reason, so all my colonists are dying, despite many food production facilities.

Whatever is going on, I just want to back out to before the glitch. When I go to game data, and select delete files, it shows 2 files for this colony, the mcz save game file, and the mcb backup. I'd love to restore the backup. Unfortunately, despite the delete dialog seeing these files, my file system does not. I have searched the entire file system, and they simply don't seem to exist.

Any ideas where to find that backup file to restore?

Did you ever find a solution?

My builders now refuse to do any building, and I can't even cancel the plot.

I'd hate to have to start over because of this glitch!

I seem to be stuck in the same spot. I am trying to build a small research lab, the bots drive up to it and just sit there, no progress bar appears. I have plenty of raw materials.

I also can't cancel that construction, the construction site fence is around that square, and cancel doesn't work.

I thought maybe I could just build something else, but I can't do that either.

I'd hate to start over just because of this!
