Are savegames update compatible?

[maxepit]

Hey Guys!

I already read some discussion about taking a save game from one game version to the next and i think the overall consensus is either "yeah the world updates but u have to travel further" or "no it's early access". Is that right or what do you think?

I ask myself how u are able to have so long lasting worlds, do u just update or do u stick to one version for the world?

Hope u have a nice time!

not sure exactly whats being asked...

When updating to a newer client version, and then visiting a world map that was created and used in a prior client version?

usually a prompt pops up indicating that the map is an older/prior version, with a yes/no to continue (along with an option, or should be an option to backup the map first)

Then on the old, now new map, the client update will only apply to map chunks that have yet to be newly created (via exploration).

was this helpful?

(usual reasons to keep an old map has much to do with preserving progress and prior old builds)

thanks, yeah that helps a lot! i played a lot paradox games and there every update destroys the save games. i thought maybe thats the same here but i did not know, so thanks for your answer!
