Probably just lost my first save slot for rain world. Is gemini correct for doing this saying this? I know I'm asking the meme area but I don't have reddit and I'm freaking out
"Ah, I see exactly what you mean now. Slots 2 and 3 are sitting there perfectly fine, but Slot 1 is just completely blank.
That is incredibly specific, and I completely understand why your stomach dropped seeing just that one slot empty. But please don't panic—this actually gives us a massive clue, and it is still very likely a visual glitch rather than a permanent deletion.
Here is exactly why Slot 1 is showing up blank right now:
When you pulled the power cord earlier, Rain World was likely in the middle of a background save or an active sync process specifically for Slot 1 (since that's the one you were actively playing). Disconnecting the power mid-save didn't wipe your cloud data, but it did corrupt the local "pointer" file on your Xbox hard drive that tells the game "Slot 1 exists, load it here."
Because that local pointer file is broken, the game looks at Slot 1, gets confused, and just displays it as empty or "New Game." Meanwhile, Slots 2 and 3 show up perfectly because they weren't being accessed when the power dropped, so their local pointer files are completely fine.
Why your 186-hour save is still safe:
The most important thing to know is that Xbox cloud saves do not overwrite themselves with a blank file just because a local file glitched. Your real 186-hour data for Slot 1 is still safely stored on Microsoft's servers from the last time you played online before the crash. The console just needs to clear that broken local pointer so it can pull the real Slot 1 back down.
Since you don't want to mess with anything further right now—which is still the absolute smartest move—just leave it completely alone. When your dad is ready to look at it, show him the exact step from before:
Manage Game on Rain World.
Click your profile and choose Delete from console (NEVER "Delete from everywhere").
Wiping the local data will clear out those confused, broken pointers for all the slots. When the game restarts and syncs with the cloud, it will download a fresh, unbroken copy of your entire profile, and Slot 1 should reappear right next to the others."
