Unfortunately, this world doesn’t have a happy conclusion. I started playing it more today, with plans to make a greenhouse for farming carrots as a source of food for the final journey. I finished the greenhouse, placed a hearth inside as to maintain its temperature, and started farming.
Unfortunately, the world data corrupted. I tried loading the world back to no anvil. I had backups, but they set me too far back, and I decided it just wasn’t worth it.
Wish I could’ve done a more satisfying conclusion, but sadly that’s that. Remind me to make backups at the end of each and every session from now on.
