I’ve just updated to the latest experimental a few minutes ago. Now, I can’t load my game. When I choose the world it shows (1) indicating one save, but it’s grayed out and I can’t load it. I’m on Linux (Debian 8). I’ve recompiled twice, and don’t get any errors

Any chance your save directory could be lacking read/write permissions?

Don’t think so. Never had this issue before. Been using this OS for over a month, a Debian 7 for over a year. Never experienced anything like that. I could play normally till I updated today

Grayed out means your build doesn’t support lua, but one of your mods requires it.

You need to go into the save directory, edit mods.json and remove the mod that requires lua. Or rebuild the game with lua support (LUA=1 in `make` line).  
To see which mods require lua, open a new world screen and check which of the mods are grayed out.

Thank you Coolthulu! That was the problem. I recompiled with LUA and now everything works fine. I wasn’t aware the LUA requeriments had changed
