Worries about losing research in 0.17 when upgrading from 0.16

Post by barbary »

Can anyone help? I have 2 worries about 0.17
1) I will lose all my laser turret research
2) Using a previous saved game I can't get the research Q
Can anyone answer my questions?

Now that the Military Research has been bound up into a different set of research will I lose all my gun and laser turret research?

I've also read some people who make is sound that if you come from a save game you won't be able to unlock Research Q?

Anyone experienced this?

Backup your save, try it out, and if not happy, get back to .16
To your question directly I don't have an anwser.

It's a wonder how good the game is, if you consider how bad they are with the FFF numbers :mrgreen:

Can't game just crashes for me. I've tried it on 2 computers and 0.17.1 just crashes as I'm trying to enter a world. Have already gone back to 0.16.51

If your defenses rely on laser turrets, you'll probably loose performance and be overrun. You should prep your base, by upgrading your defenses before upgrading.

Further more, you should pack 10k of each science pack to get back some science. Remember that some SP recipe changes and you SP factory won't work.

I managed to tweak my rocket factory, my fuel factory but not my science factory yet. I hesitate to restart or continue my current base.

But I'm satisfied with 0.17.

This seems like it's definitely an issue. I loaded an old save and my research was both stalled and apparently reduced to zero. I had been researching fluid handling, a 100 red-pack technology. In 0.17, it is a 50-pack red and green technology but I have not researched green science yet.

Trouble is, I don't know how to make a more reasonable migration to the new tech tree. It looks like "lose your research" is just the only potential answer.

well obviously I'll all ready have those when I convert to 0.17. Is "not sciencepack dmg-upgrades " your way of saying the not infinite part of the research?
