Private Server For Windows / Modding

Hello! I've been trying to set up my own private server for testing on. I'm not tech-savvy whatsoever. I've followed multiple guides, downloading the win_full zip from https://github.com/Awbz/OneLife/release … Life+_v324 . I extract the file, I run runServer.bat as admin. I have no idea what soft links are, but when I do this I notice files that weren't there before appear, so I assume I don't need to do anything. I've tried this three separate times but the issues remain the same. The first run goes smoothly, but when I close, the second time I run it this comes up:

No lookTimes present, not cleaning map.db
Requested lineardb3 file map.db does not contain a whole number of 20-byte records.  Assuming final record is garbage and truncating it.
Failed overwrite lineardb3 file map.db with truncation file map.db.trunc
Error 1 opening map KissDB
Press any key to continue . . .

I will admit, I forgot to press ctrl C to shut it down. Would that affect anything?

I've lost 6 hours of a world due to not knowing what to do. If anyone has any idea (and can explain it in dummy terms) I'd really appreciate it!

Also, is it possible to mod private servers? I tried copying the extracted mod files into the server folder though I'm not sure whether I should let it replace the duplicates or not.

Thanks!

Whatever

i am not sure but for me this looks like your database files got corrupted when you closed the server.
i think pressing CTRL+C to shut down the server is important.
database files have .db at the end

Yes, you HAVE TO close with ctrl c otherwise it will crash next time you open it.

You mean what to do in-game?

If yes, first make Well site, it will unlock you iron veins in west and east of it (up to 160 tiles, so if your place is very unlucky you could possibly get no iron veins). It will be your home. Make an adobe kiln then make some bowls and plates. Make a backpack, tools (first tools will be a shovel to finish the well and an axe to cut some trees and keep the fire going with firewood). Then it's up to you, you can farm, cook, make clothes, get a horse, make a sheep pen, upgrade the well...

I'll try again and make sure I do that then. Is there a way that I can uncorrupt the db files though? I have a world I dont really want to lose at this point. Thanks

Welp, I guess that was the problem.

Also that wasnt what I meant by not knowing what to do, but i appreciate you bringing that up. I couldnt find any iron laying around, aside from the iron veins. Am I just unlucky or was this what you meant by having to build a well site?

There is no iron lying around anymore after the recent update, you can get it only from iron veins.

Well site will unlock the muddy iron vein nearby.
