    Problem:

    When an update is released with a change, it will broke some saves (a reactor, a factory etc.)

    Solution:

    Added an option to play some of your saves without changing something.  :)

    do you want a list of checkboxes like "88.0 compatibility mode, 87.0 compatibility mode, 86.0 compatibility mode" in options?

    Besides the fact you would need to include unchanged code for each and every one of those versions.

    Just an idea...

    Most times when saves are broken it is unintentional. So the compatibility options would always be a version behind because we can't know what broke until people tell us (and often they don't til a few versions later anyway)

    We might have a large compatibility mode planned (if anyone ever gets to it) where we can fix lots of bugs especially with electronics. Right now it's just a wishlist based on an irc discussion though.
