I’m pretty sure there are no logs at all of those ships, and admins can’t interact with your blueprints. So if I was you I’d consider it lesson learned, and try to build the ships again.

Admins don’t have access to those files and can’t restore them for you. Those files are stored on the client side, which means you deleted something you shouldn’t have or you logged in from multiple PC’s without transferring the correct factory files over first.

It sounds like you deleted the whole HWS cache folder instead of opening it up and only deleting very specific files. The factory files are also stored in there and once you delete them and then log into the server they are gone forever. There isn’t a way to restore them after that, even on your end.
Sorry.

I would take it as a lesson learned as @Dr.Dark said.

For what it’s worth I haven’t had any playfield files in my cache folder for HWS in multiple seasons now. I think the devs changed something and they aren’t even stored client side anymore, so the old ways of deleting cache files is useless now anyways.

For multiple seasons now my HWS cache folder has only contained a ‘Blueprints’ folder and a ‘Players’ folder, it no longer even has the third ‘Playfields’ folder anymore for me.
Do other people still have a Playfields folder within their recent HWS cache folder?

Good point, lesson learned.
