Hi! As a general rule, we try to maintain backwards compatibility as much as possible and have only seriously broken old saves with one update throughout our early access period (the complete campaign overhaul we did last summer), as far as I recall. So the assumption is always that your existing saves should largely work just fine even as the game updates...however, with custom subs or mods, something breaking is much more likely, and as Knee wrote, when we make significant changes to something pretty basic that affects the whole game, such as the inventory, there's always a chance that there will be some adverse effects too.

We appreciate reports if anything goes unexpectedly wrong following an update so that we can better anticipate those adverse effects in the future and inform players – developing an early access title with a steady player base, we don't to cause undue annoyance to anyone with updates! With the update this week in particular, I don't believe you should run into any major problems.
