Experimental or Normal

[ProudConservative]

I have been playing off and on for quite some time now, and I've decided to give it a serious go this time. Would you go for the experimental build or the regular mode? Will the save on the experimental build be able to be played when the experimental build goes live? Sorry if I don't make sense but I'm old so...lol

THis is answered in their QA about Experimental.
IF you play in Experimental and as long as you DO NOT, Turn on the "Advanced Options" that Experimental Save will work with the official patch 8 when it's released on the Normal Release.

Turning on "Advanced Options" in experimental will make your save NOT work with Normal, when it's released.
This is coming from someone who is 'old'

Thanks so much for your reply. I didn't think of looking there actually but didn't mean to offend you. Hope you have a better day.

Get experimental, it works fine, and someday soon the Early Access version will be at Update 8 too, might as well face the music, it's time for Unreal Engine 5.2, it makes the world much more beautiful, and when you die you don't lose your tools, just stuff in inventory, but... there are meaner nastier monsters, but don't use advanced settings until after you've played it for awhile, and forget about mods until about a month after they've released the update 8 on Early Access.

That's the skivvy old man, word to the wisdom of age, and happy pioneering!

You didn't offend me, I'm an old gamer too. I started on a C64 back in the 80s, then went on to an Atari 1040STE after that. Sorry if I cam across as offended, I didn't mean to be

All this dont turn on Advanced pfft... lol

Without Flight Mode why play? :-)

Kidding aside, depends on how you play. If you print most everything then you can Mod and play Advanced now and if the save doesnt work on the final 8.2 it can mostly be reproduced quickly through the prints.

You "old guys" should come and help me test out the experimental multiplayer troubleshooter test that I'm running for the next two weeks, check it out in the Looking For Group section. Happy Pioneering! Cyaz soon.

when you read just now all the problems the experimental players have after the update I'd say it was a smart move to wait with it

There is always "some" risk in starting at experimental, personally I'm just hyping myself up to launch a fresh save when it goes to early access branch
