env meta.txt

env_meta.txt is a world file that is used to store various environmental data about a world, such as the time and LBM data. It is also prone to corruption, especially on Windows. (See #9425)

Corruption (and fix)

If env_meta.txt for a world is corrupted, trying to start the world will throw this error:

A fatal error occurred: attempted to query on non fully set up LBMManager

To fix, you should go into the last backup you have for the world and transplant the env_meta.txt found there. If you do not have a backup, then simply delete the file and the world will work again.

While resetting env_meta.txt will lead to the in-game time resetting and LBMs being re-run, it should not cause any damage to the map of the world itself.
