It gave me some error message about Hexadecimal value 0x0B being invalid and then didn't even give me a chance to fix whatever the heck it was getting all worked up about because just going to some what I can only describe as abstract are on the screen. When I tried to load my planet back from the previous save it wasn't there. This is really annoying not only because it deleted my planet but the error message made no sense and it wouldn't let me even try to fix whatever the problem was.

Hi @Pedro ,
No I did not manually edit the xml at all, I stayed within the planet designer at all times apart from uploading textures. The problem happened after editing the planet while trying to save it, I had written a pharagraph long description for the planet so it was probably a while since I has worked on it. I clicked the save button and it warned me about overwriting and all, I said, yet that's fine and then it came up with the error message, when i tried to load the planet again it wasn't there. -

Did you manually edit the xml? Did the problem happen while editting the planet or after a while wihout having worked in it?

@Tarian the problem you saw is something hard (almost impossible) to recover from, you got a file (the planet xml) corrupted, and it was a fatal corruption. EOF, the character that was "added" in the middle of your xml, indicates where to stop reading a document. Since an EOF was added in the middle of your code, the program couldn't read the entirety of the xml, breaking the planet file.
