What build would you recommend for the most recent but featureful experience? I’d like to have recent futures but i don’t want to lose my save or have my progress lost. What is the most recent experimental build with minimal bugs?
I don’t know of a good answer, but I’ve got a few thoughts on what you can try:
- I’m not aware of any save destroying changes in recent times. There have been save damaging ones (like the incorrect generation of buildings that then remain in the save as generated, or creatures placed in the wrong place on generation, and then e.g. falling to the ground).
- I would make a copy of the save as a backup and then update to the newest version and keep updating until I found one I considered good enough. Frequent backups would allow for rollbacks if something encountered is too broken.
- I have disabled auto save, both because it has had bugs in the past, where it saved in the middle of activities and then was unable to load and resume it correctly, as well as to have control over when it’s saved so I can kill the game and resume from that save point if a significant bug is encountered (both for playing purposes and error investigation ones).
Personally I just roll with it, updating to the latest one frequently.
