OMG. That’s awful. I really feel for you. You leave me speachless there. So much work, effort and dedication for something that huge… all flushed because of some creepy hardware 
. I cannot believe it 
This has always been one of my biggest fear for all my carreer. Actually, I’m close to paranoia with this. I have cloud, server, server backups, network backups and even disconnected from the network backups and I still don’t feel safe. I don’t know how I would feel if this would happen to me.
I’m so sorry for you and for the project. I hope you will recover and find the joy of developing again.

Thank you for your support JohnK and mawa.
I should do more regular backups, I only do them every 3 months or so.
Fortunately I have several disks, one of which I reserved for programming, but it was this one that failed.
But all is not lost, I have a lot of old editor project that I had done, so a lot of code to recover for the new project that I launch.

That’s too bad, the terrain painter was really cool part! Hope that makes it to the next project
You should consider my tactic and commit/push to git everything you would never want to write twice

Really sorry to hear about the code loss 
I commit my stuff quite obsessively on Github for that reason 
But even with the code gone the knowledge you gained remains in your brain 
and that is the most important thing
