Tom did mention they have been working on trying to make the game more friendly at keeping saves compatible, so maybe you’ll be lucky

Personally, I like my towns, and I get attached to each one, but unless I make something truly epic, I find that I am always more excited for the new features than I am for keeping the old towns.

I just keep rebuilding the same town over and over again in every new version since the first alpha we could make custom buildings, so I don’t really get attached. If they ever introduce a 7th crafter I’ll have to redesign my town, but until then I’ve never had any issues taking advantage of the new features with my existing design. When mining got added, I simply moved the town to a higher level of the terrain and started building it next to the mountains on two sides. When roads got added, I simply stopped using stockpiles as placeholder roads and built the real thing. As new classes were made, I already had crafter shops waiting for them in the layout. Now with crates in Alpha 11, I’ll simply put some crates in the crafter shops and houses instead of stockpiles.
I never end up having time to fully build the entire village, and usually bugs make my game unplayable before I can finish anyway, so each new Alpha just becomes a fun test to see how far I can get. Already in the unstable builds, I can tell that the performance improvements and current balance for getting new settlers will get me farther than I’ve ever gotten before. Perhaps Alpha 11 will be the first time I can post a screenshot of my complete working settlement.
