THE SHORT ANSWER
Save and quit normally before switching machines, then check that Steam has finished syncing. If an item is missing, record the version and the steps before the loss; a patch note alone cannot diagnose your save.
Sources checked September 8, 2026 · Reported guidance, without a firsthand Kingy playtest.
Before you start
Your game’s displayed version and the machine holding the save you intend to use. Nothing on this page asks you to edit, delete or replace save files.

Before changing machines
The 1.0.12 announcement introduced Steam Cloud support and tells existing players to run and exit the game on the machine holding their saves.
Developer statementDazed Games ↘Confirm Steam has finished its normal sync before opening the save elsewhere. If the expected save is missing, stop and compare the machines rather than immediately creating or overwriting files. This is precautionary advice, not a tested recovery method.

If an item disappeared
Patch 1.0.10 says dropped items persist up to a total of 64, with priority for weapons, tools, quest objects and creatures. That limit is not a promise that every loose object is permanent.
Note whether the loss followed dropping, rejoining or a crash, and whether the item was still visible beforehand. Keep that sequence with your version when seeking help. Do not assume every report shares one cause.

Do not copy an obsolete shortcut
The developer reports fixing travel to locked islands in 1.0.5. Treat an older island-skip guide as potentially outdated.
A visible patch label helps date a guide or video, but it is not an exact Steam build fingerprint. Compare older advice with developer announcements before relying on a workaround.

What we can promise
We can show which source says what. We cannot promise recovery, absence of corruption, a working money glitch or that a save editor is safe. Keep the working save intact while investigating.
