I had an earlier forum post about launching the game and starting on day 0 with no money, no ingots, nothing. and therefore had no way to actually play the game. The game ran fine, no errors at all. I repeatedly uninstalled and reinstalled but that fixed nothing. I decided to wait patiently for the next update thinking that would sort everything. cut to a week and half later, and 0.071 come out and i update. Again the game ran fine but i still have no money, ingots or anything. This is a great game and really want to play it so any advice would be great.

Delete the save file?

When you uninstall, it probably doesn't delete that (just a guess, as many games don't).

C:/Users/[Computer_user_name]/AppData/Local/ShopSim/Saved

I just deleted the whole Saved folder and it worked pretty well. Another option, which I haven't tried, is that in the new 71 update you can start a new game from the menu. I'd personally try manually deleting the save file first.
