Listen I love NMS for what it has become, but of course they would say that. They know that (the veil of) personal investment in their userbase's woes is good marketing. What would the answer otherwise be? "fuck your save, start over"?

And if they can't fix it, they can at least say "we tried".

I honestly don't recall any other developer ever saying this before.

Factorio devs fixed a bug that corrupted a 2 year old save from a guy, the limit now is a few sextillion, satisfactory took josh from let's game it out save to help optimize the game lol, that's the closest I can remember

Edit: found it https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?t=101341 the devs also fixed the save for the guy and later updated the game with a fix lol

i cant remember off the top of my head exactly which ones, but Wube will take bug reports from vanilla saves and modded saves and fix them all! Great Devs!

They even the concept (with permission) of someone else's game that they reengineered from the ground up to help multithread the game. They're simply amazing!
