Compatibility of save files
« on: April 06, 2010, 09:34:42 am »
I just thought, that save files made in version [31.01] might be incompatible with bugfixed version.
Just wandering, how probable is such incompatibility...  ::)

I don't think you'll have to worry. If you play around with the different saves' raw files, hardly anything requires a regen, no matter what you change.

If I understand correctly, the raw files keep only configurations of objects types, don't they?
But what about dynamic info about game in Dwarf Fortress mode, f.e., about your military organization? In current alfa this section is somewhat immature...
