Yesterday I created a new Unity project and loaded the CF tutorial to test a raw file I'd created for someone at OGT.  When I created the project I gave it a name.

 

Today when I hovered the mouse over Unity in the Start menu to bring up recent files, CFtutorial was listed, not the name I'd created.  Strange I thought.  So clicked on it.  Then a Unity menu came up with my recent files.  So I make a hasty decision and clicked on a different project I wanted to work on.  Something starts decompressing, and I get a bad feeling.

 

Sure enough, that CF tutorial loaded itself on top of my existing project.  Tried loading the scene file - nothing.

 

I was about to get righteously upset when I realised I'd recently backed the terrain up before doing adjustments around a hazard.  Sure enough, it looks like I've salvaged the work.  A custom rough layer I'd created is now gone from the library (although that layer still looks the same in the window until I click on it and it says its a bunker), but if that's all I have to fix I'm thankful.

 

TLDR back up the terrain.

I have been very slack about this lately.  Thanks for the much needed reminder!
