Steps to Reproduce

1. s**** up your saved game slots in an effort to play on modded games
2. absolutely s**** it all up
3. play 700 hours
4. delete the old one

Explanation

I apparently had two separate save files from the time mods were integrated. Yesterday I was prompted on startup to delete one leaving only one primary save. I obviously deleted the lesser, and now I've lost all overclocks, weapons AND weapon upgrades that I did NOT have equipped on each class the day before. I also lost all collected minerals, beer reagents, phazyonite, error cubes etc. across the board, but retain all my credits I'd earned (so I spent half of it to restock basic minerals on the mineral trade console.)

I've retained cosmetics, perks & perk points, class levels & exp and while the game is still playable - I can earn those things back - EXCEPT the weapons are locked on class variants (A, B, C, D...) and there are no new assignments to unlock them again. This could be because I have one in progress, so I'm going to try finishing the assignment to "refresh" them or something.
