MY TIME PLEASE I BEG

[BLACKSINOFWRATH]

Id really appreciate it, if you guys could not require a full world restart every time you update. It'd be much better if you could program it to allow an update to the world that already exists. I love this game, its super fun, but it sucks putting 80+ hours into a world and then, poof, new version and i cant play on my world unless i load up the old version. Please do something about this if possible.

Make a copy of the old alpha game directory. Then you can always start the old version directly (steam has to be running in the background though) and play the new alpha normally through steam as well.

Omg thank you so much, this means I can actually move a 160 hour world.

If you want to play lots of different older alphas I also would suggest to use different windows accounts for each alpha, for the simple reason that each game would then have its own configuration settings and possible incompatibilities would not show up.

You don't need multiple steam accounts for that, just OS accounts. But if you do that you have to be careful to choose the same "player profile" in all accounts, otherwise you will enter the game as a new lvl1 player.
