Direct Answer
The June 2026 closed beta had no save function: quitting, dying, or crashing could erase that run's progress.
Confirmed
Answer Details
The save/load system was still in development, and no later verified manual-save menu, autosave interval, file location, or cloud-save behavior is documented here. 1 2
What Could End a Beta Run
The June closed beta did not expose a functioning save or load option, so closing the game, dying, or crashing could remove the progress from that session. That makes secure short-term goals more useful than assuming a return point exists. The team was still developing save and load support, but the checked material does not confirm a later manual-save menu, autosave trigger, save-file path, Steam Cloud behavior, or compatibility across builds. 3 4
Version Limits
This guidance reflects pre-release material checked through August 24, 2026. Controls, recipes, balance, locations, and item names can change between builds.
