Oh yeah, I get it now.

Wow, that s*cks. I guess one good thing to do is to save backups every now and then through the iTunes app. I am starting to look at the filesystem format of the saved world, and I'll eventually figure out if worlds can be individually saved and restored through the iTunes backup.

Yes, and I'll also keep notes on this, if it ever happens to me (losing a significant part of the world, that is).

One thing I can say is I've done a lot of experimenting with turrets, like leaving the game running for 24 hours with a battery of turrets killing everything that comes within range, and my turrets and observation platform are still there. But I haven't tried to combine turrets with any significant amount of creative building, for example.
