Update 6 (2026-09-21) officially addressed this breakable objects issue: An object saved intact appears broken after loading. If it still occurs after updating, treat it as a possible regression or different cause, not a guaranteed repair of your existing save.
Match the symptom
An object saved intact appears broken after loading.
Check before changing your save
Capture its condition before saving and immediately on loading, before another physics interaction.
- Confirm Steam has completed all available updates.
- Capture its condition before saving and immediately on loading, before another physics interaction.
- Do not replace every nearby item to test one persistence fault.
Official fix versus your current save
The developer's Update 6 note establishes a historical fix for this symptom. It does not publish a universal recovery command or prove that a previously damaged save will repair itself. This guide has not independently retested your save.
Recovery decision
Do not replace every nearby item to test one persistence fault.
- If the installed game is older than the named patch, update and retest the same action.
- If the issue persists, try an existing known-good save without overwriting the failing one.
- If it repeats, report breakable objects, the exact objective, installed build and reproduction steps to the developer's Steam discussion board.
