So uh, not sure what's happened, but scavenging did nothing after opening the book (which I couldn't figure out how to exit and ended up using escape to do so which might have been the issue) and when I tried to close and restart the game I keep receiving the same error and the game is just a black screen. Error says "
Error: Couldn't load project data at path ".". Is the .pck file missing?
If you've renamed the executable, the associated .pck file should also be renamed to match the executable's name (without the extension)"
This might be exclusively from opening the stats, using escape, then closing and reopening the game. Unfortunately this does mean I cant access the game at all anymore, but this may end up being a very very specific bug.
