Hello everyone, I had a strange occurrence in Terraria about two years ago, and I wanted to see if anyone here could help me solve it. Two years ago, I created a terraria world on the expert difficulty to explore the expert more exclusive content with my main Terraria character (the characters main world is classic difficulty.) Although I play on PC now, this world was created on my mobile device, and it did not run Terraria well and sometimes crashed. One time while I was on this expert mode resource world and my game crashed. I didn't think much of it at the time but upon loading the game back up my world was no longer there. I was really confused until I noticed that there were now 2 versions of my main world. Both were favorited with the name "awesome world" like the original. Upon loading up the copy my entire resource world was now a direct copy of the original. All the world generation, NPC positions, literally EVERYTHING was overwritten. The resource world became an identical copy of my main world. In short, my game crashed, and my expert mode resource words data got completely rewritten into another worlds data. Luckily it was just a resource world and not a major world, but even 2 years later I still don't know why, or how this happened. Since then, I have kept playing my REAL main world for another 2 years (present day) and haven't logged onto the fake one since.
This is where you guys come in, I was wondering if anybody on the forums knows anything about this strange occurrence. This has only happened to me once and I kind of forgot about it until recently when going through my Terraria worlds. Has anyone else experienced this, or something similar? Or does anybody know / have any theories as to why this happened? Also, I will be attaching the world file for you guys to explore, note that the original name of the world was "Expert =D" like the file name suggests, however upon loading Terraria it will be called "awesome world". WARNING: Please please PLEASE be super careful when exploring this world as it is obviously bugged. I don't know what could happen if you load it up, or even just put it into your worlds folder. If you decide to explore the world to try and find anything, please create a new character or use one you don't care much about, also make backups of all your other worlds just in case implementing this world into your worlds file causes it to override more worlds.
Thank you to everyone who will take the time to investigate this strange mystery, hopefully I can finally get some answers as to what happened on that day.
(As a side note [not that I think anybody would do this] please don't take this world file and try to steal my world as your own work)
(As a side-side note, I intentionally didn't put this thread in the mobile bug reports section, if a moderator sees this and feels it should be moved to the mobile bug reports section then I understand. I just wanted to post this in the "General Terraria Talk" so that people would see it and be able to hopefully give some answers, also like I said this happened two years ago on a laggy device, this may not even be related to a Terraria bug and could have just been the device itself.)
