I don't really think so, because a lot of the new stuff is labours and creatures? And when modding those usually require regenning a world.

I've just tested an old save in 0.31.19 and it worked just fine - dwarves were capable of being assigned the new labors, but the lack of relevant raws means they just won't do anything at all.

It's amazing how dwarves can make a stack of bones completely waterproof and magmaproof.

Every version's going to be compatible with the previous one for a long time now. You'll miss out on some new features like the new critters and new jobs and stuff, though. I dunno what grazing animals will do.

regardless, the slime shooter will be completed, come hell or high water, which are both entirely plausible setbacks at this point.

Unless you upgrade the raws, animals won't graze, and you wouldn't be able to fully update the raws since the plant count wouldn't match anymore.

They don't have the [GRAZER] tag, so they won't starve.

Your graphics might look funny, since the look of veins got an overhaul, for example, Spade is iron ore (so, so, handy)

Are you using a graphics pack with default graphics, or a mod that is supposed to be used with a graphics pack? In my raws, iron is £, as usual.
