So is it a new save file each major update? Or only that one they recently did?

it depends on the update. in this case there are so many changes that you will likely need a new file. you can try your old one but you will likely need to fix up large chunks of your factory.

So can I just start over at experimental and later use this world on stable? Or is it not wise to do it that way and wait for stable?

yep you should be able to. once experimental is stable we will move it to stable and it'll be the same version. but as always, just back up your saves.

It would be basically the same as experimental so I don't see any reason for it to not be compatible

it is not the same as current experimental, the update is huge. it will be likely that you can load your save game but your factory will not work and you will need to fix a bunch of stuff. so you may need to consider starting over. regardless: back up your saves!

I suspect they're still writing it.

we are still writing it but its mostly done. but we will not release it until the update drops. some light reading while it downloads!

(actually it's massive)

Do you know why the current experimental build is only 6 GiB in size, while the early access branch is 15 GiB on disk?

the 6gb is the download size of the difference between current experimental and new experimental. it doesnt redownload the entire game. game size should still be around the same or more.
