What to Do If Your Save Is Affected
The developer says affected Tier 5 saves should repair automatically. The steps below cover the cases that still need manual action.
Update and confirm the build
Install v0.5.4 or later, then the affected save should repair automatically. Only skip the update if you are already past the affected Tier 5 stage.
Delete in small batches
Red blocks respond to deletions of 256 tiles or fewer. Delete in chunks rather than one large selection while the deeper fix is still in progress.
Still Stuck?
If your save does not repair, keep the version and save intact and follow the diagnosis order on the latest released patch notes.
Core v0.5.4 takeaway
v0.5.4 was the repair patch for the Tier 5 save issue, and it also made filter handling and red-block cleanup more manageable.
What still needs confirmation
Some broken saves can still fail for other reasons, and later patches may replace the temporary red-block workaround entirely.
