How Do I Figure Out What Happened to this Missing House?

[DarkhVorTeX]

So, I have this problem. I had a house (Timber House sitting on pavement) before the downtime and it's missing.

Now some of you would probably jump in and point me to the whole map data corruption announcement saying that it was probably swept up in there. There's an issue with that.


Note: Most of the area south of the red border was PAVED in a 37x37 square with a Timber House, Spruce Bough Bed, a Leanto, a Roundpole Fence along the red line and the only trees standing in that area were just the two apple trees I decided to leave for aesthetic reasons. I can't find ANY trace of the Timber House that used to be there.

If the house was in the corrupted map, then that birchbark basket shouldn't be there because it was there since I created the character a couple of days ago. The same goes for the "It must have decayed" argument. Do trees just randomly spawn in empty areas? As far as I know, that's not the case. And before somebody says I'm wrong about the decay, then explain why the three wicker baskets above the fence and these wicker baskets:

...and explain why these 100 wicker baskets are STILL there even though a whole Timber House sitting on pavement decayed before them.

But if didn't disappear from natural forces, then was it a human? Did a person decide to come by and destroy my house, hundreds and hundreds of pavement, and a fence that encircled most of the area? If so...where did the trees randomly appear from? Did the guy decide to plant a few trees before leaving? I am very confused. There wasn't a land claim yet because the server went down before I could collect enough LP from plowing and paving the land to actually make a land claim large enough but it doesn't seem like something a trespasser WOULD do.

Paved areas never disappear. I'm afraid your house was situated in one of the corrupt worldspaces that were lost. The wicker basket is an anomoly; perhaps this area was on the far east of the lost section, and that basket just barely survived being wiped by being a few squares away?

You're definitely on the very edge of the corrupted area. Paved ground can't be reverted to forest land overnight and neither can trees fully grow.

Assuming you mean you built the birchbark basket two days ago, (I'm afraid I found your wording unclear) Moogie is probably right. That oak tree seems to be more stand out-ish to me, because if all that was there was the apple trees then that shouldn't be there.

At any rate, it's a stroke of bad luck, but that's the only way that could have happened.
