You guys are killing it. Keep it coming!!
Can't wait to finally get around to a playthrough with the crew. Just another few updates and we'll spin the server up! Intentionally holding out for a clean playthrough with the whole team.
This will be our biggest update yet, so it might be a good time to stop by! New worlds aren't required, though, the existing save should update automatically with the new content :)
WHEN IS SOON
Well, based off Valve Time, I think it will be anywhere from a few minutes to several years from now.
(Jokes aside, yeah we plan to release it well before the end of the year :)
cool, new mobs to fight! oh, wait...
There will be new mobs in the update as well, just not this specific teaser :)
I've foolishly dumped an extra 20 hours creating a new base. Will this update like previous ones be safe for existing files or should I save myself the pain of starting over and wait?
Yes, it should be safe for existing saves. Being early access, there's always a small risk of edge case file corruptions happening given how much stuff we're changing, so if you're really worried, we suggest making a backup of the save files. But that hasn't been an issue in the past, so it's generally not something you have to worry about.
Are you planning to ever do wipes? Played a bit at the release but I want to avoid wipes…so kinda waiting for it to be safe haha
There are no plans to do anything like this intentionally, worlds should update automatically with the content in new updates, and we don't see much reason to intentionally force a progress reset when saves are hosted locally and players can choose to do that themselves if they wish.
If, for whatever reason, this was something we felt needed to happen at some point, we'd give plenty of warning ahead of time, but currently I don't see why that would be the case.
