Really isn't. The game's in “alpha” for a reason. Changes may occur and maintaining complete backwards compatibility just causes a lot more work and old crap accumulates that nobody actually needs.
To be honest I'm already surprised that they work so hard to keep game saves compatible at all for several major updates.

Probably getting some practice early. It also helps in reevaluating flexibility and rigidity of data structures and concepts. You begin to loathe compatibility for as long as you don't clean up your stuff

If there are maps you want to keep, take a lot of backups before loading them in 12

Good idea on expanding on the PR side

Furious 2: To Fast for Factorio

Hopefully they won't get to Furious 7

When in doubt, prepare for agony.

But you know...

REFRESH REFRESH REFRESH AT 12:02 AM JULY 10 2015

Jeez shut it, nobody will release at 5 in the morning, devs sleep. If they had it ready, they would release yesterday, that means they still have work to do and release will happen in the evening 10 hours from now or next week.
And living in a timeshifted zone really does not help you, as it really does not depend on your local time.

Yeah, releasetime was mostly afternoon/evening in prague-timezone. Which is good since I live next to this timezone in germany and I have to work today

Hype! Hype! Hype! Hype!

probably about 8 hours to go before release.

Can't wait !

HYPE

Betting on ..... next week.

Crossing fingers for today ^^
