2.0 update warning for 1.1 players

Post by Vasya228 »

After a recent update I have to make huge changes to my 1.1 base to keep playing, e.g. rebuild all curved rails with new ones (still cant believe this).

I suggest that there is a warning for 1.1 players which tells about irreversible incompatible changes they will face after an update: 1) that they exist and 2) a short list of things that will break (rails, long fuel lines, white science, …).

Not sure if this is a correct board for this, but I ask you to consider this proposal.

The only part that requires immediate fixing is white science (because of RCU being replaced with blue chips & landing pad that can be placed anywhere, although only one per surface) and long pipelines (new fluid mechanics).

Rails can be postponed: old rails work just fine, but for expension blueprints will require redo.

Also, most saves from 1.1 will not load into 2.0 with `attempt to index global 'global' (a nil value)` because `global` was remaned into `storage`.

Bratan if you open a 1.1 save it literally tells you that shit will break with a huge button

Actually, it only says how awesome the new version is (and it is!) and nothing about remaining saves.
Also, this screen shows up after an update, when I can't do anything to prevent that.

I think this dialog only appears for SA, not 2.0 itself.

Oh shit, you are both right. Would be cool to have it for 2.0 as well. My dw marathon thing also breaks hard, since it relies on pipes for protection.
