New features in old save?

[bortas]

Didn't playe in a while and just wanted to take a look at all the new features. So I loaded my existing save, but my animals do not produce dung, and the well doesn't seem to work either, even when I build it directly over water, and the indicator turns blue.

Do the new features require to start a new game?

Hi. Updates are backward compatible, since the Update 4. When was the last time you played it?

You can send us your save via F10 report in-game, and we'll look into it. Let me know here the name of report so we can track it.

Wow, thanks for the quick reply.

I remember I had to convert my saves to a new save format last year, which I did successfully. Last time I played (without any noticable issues) was in August '24. The game is loading without problems and I can research the new stuff, but some things don't seem to work. Not really eager to start from scratch, which you will surely understand, when you see my current progress ;)

Just did that. Named it "new features not working in old save". Thanks for looking into it.

Dung is present!

And well works. In what sense does well not work?

Uh, that's weird... I let steam check my game files and even resinstalled the game and still getting this:

Sheep are producing milk, wool but no dung. Same for all other animals. And the well is not usable and still saying it has to have water beneath it, which it clearly has.

Okay, so far well - you will have to research barrels first and build them. Upon their construction, settlers should take water from well and fill the barrels.

And regarding dungs, give them a couple of days (4-5 just in case). If nothing happens, let me know.

Hello, great work on the game. I love it and hope you continue to make it even better than it is now.

I was wondering if, if I had created a new game a week or two ago, I could play the next update on that save.
Thanks !

Well, interestingly a few adult animals (most not, though) started to produce dung. Even putting them into a caravan, send them away and let them return didn't help.

Newborn animals seem to be consistently producing dung, though. So, the problem will probably solve itself over time.

Thanks for your assistance. Greatly appreciated.
