Making outdated maps compatible with future updates

I made this thread mainly for the devs and leaders of the discourse, but anyone who isn’t one of these can still post their opinions. I find it annoying that just as my town starts to take place, a new update comes out making my previous save “incompatible”. Perhaps the devs could do something about this to fix this problem.

I know that this is very far fetched, but I was just thinking that it could potentially be done by looking at older games made in the past and seeing how they tackled the situation.

Hey!

The devs have spoken about this quite a lot, They’ve said they try there best not to ruin saves but at points theres nothing else they can do but ruin the saves. A work around is to keep it stable or humble bundle so your work stays for a decent time. Until Beta I don’t think we’ll see compatible saves between versions, Mainly because the codes always changing, Stuffs being removed, Added, it makes it almost impossible to maintain compatible saves in such an early stage of development. Sadly starting over a load of times is part of the alpha experience, but its not all bad. I could be wrong here, But its how I see the situation anyway.

Hope that helped in some way :wink:
