Hi. Do you know how to use HWS connect? Hit the button at the top of the page and log in with steam. Go to the tab called “structure commander” and find the ID.

What I expect is that the base was below 10 blocks? Every few hours the server cleans up structures fewer than 10 blocks automatically

You have to make bases larger than 10 blocks or they are auto deleted by the game in a matter of hours.  
If they can be restored or not depends on if it made it to a backup save or not.

So yes I think you guys were correct…damn  
At least I have my ship and some bio fuel and drill.  
WTF man…why 10 blocks?! why not check to see if someone from that faction or the owner has been online in like 48hrs or a week and then clean house? Thats pretty crappy… But it could have been worse i guess.

Thanx guys

Sorry,

its a game mechanic ☹  
We also can’t restore anything due to it being removed so quickly.
