Voxel Reset?
A voxel reset is when you reset the terrian or ground. This will reset any voxel damage done from minning and digging on that world. So upon successful voxel reset the world's terrian will be reset to what it was upon creation of the world.

Dynamic items not attached to static grids will potentially be deleted. Any static grids should still be there after a voxel reset but will just be buried.
How to perform a voxel reset
To perform a voxel reset its pretty easy.

First upon creation of the world make sure you make a backup, atleast of the file ending with .vx2 .
This file is currently holding the voxel data for the entire world.

To find where your save files they are located in your roaming file.

For windows:
- Go to your search in your start menu
- type in "%appdata%" , NO quotes
- Now navigate to your Medieval Engineers file
- go into the Saves file
- Find the name of the world you want to voxel reset.
- Replace the .vx2 file with a previous .vx2 file that YOU manually backed up when the world was first created.

You should notice the backup .vx2 file you created when you first created the world should be smaller than the current .vx2 file.

***Again: This method is only promised to work if you backed up the voxel file AT creation. You need a copy of the file from the past in order to do this. You can NOT use another world's file in attempt to repair or voxel reset your world/save.



This method has only been tested and successfully used as described above. This works in the current game state and may change in the future.

I believe this is mainly through creative only in the base game from what I recall. I don't recall all the options available in the Medieval Master (admin mode) since its been a while since I played now since the game has gone under very unfortunately.

I like when servers reset ore patches and asteroids. So I was hoping to do it on my single player. Do you think the Alt-F10 Admin Screen would allow it too? Or does it actually have to be in Creative mode fully?

Yes that is an option available within creative mode only and adds additional data to the save file making it larger. This method was used to help rollback the voxels to the default values for a multiplayer server to increase performance and revert back to the default.

I read that Cntrl rmb with voxel hands also resets the voxels. Seems much easier. And safer. Let me know if it is wrong please.
