Ok maybe I’m just a stupid noob but I can’t figure out what happened here:

  1. Started salvaging corvette components

  2. Bought a landing gear and hab module but couldn’t afford/find a cockpit yet

  3. Started designing a corvette anyway, saved the half-finished design for later

  4. Went back now that I salvage a cockpit, game says I have no saved designs and the parts I bought are not in my inventory or Corvette Workshop storage

Did I screw myself by trying to save an invalid design?

    Sounds to me like this buggy update being this buggy update

    I’ve built some invalid designs, such as missing cockpits and it saved fine, although that could be because it was a corvette I had finished beforehand

    did you go back to the corvette workshop in the same space station that you started it from?

    I found that if I change stations while there is an incomplete design, it will not follow me to the next station. Once I finished a new design, my old parts ended up in the cache box.

    It’s just buggy AF - I’ve found that if I delete decorations when in the Corvette building mode, I often don’t get refunded the cost, but I do get refunded if I delete them while walking around my ship.

    Similarly I accidentally restored saved modifications today and it deleted a few thousand decorations worth of Carbon and Sodium

    I have not done much with corvettes yet, so I might have misunderstood, but did you switch your ship to the corvette and then try the builder?

      Nope, I don’t have a corvette to switch to since I couldn’t finish building it.
