Save file size seems lot more optimized with 1.0

[Mozzy]

Last I played decent duration between U7 and 8, my save was over 20mb (without any showcase or mega factories, just normal factories dotted around to about Tier8).

Had cut down decent amount of bushes for biofuel, plus the usual unavoidable destruction back then with vehicles removing vegetation driven over.

I'm now back to about same point of progression, Tier 8, in 1.0 fresh start save - and my save file is only bit over 3 mb. I have massive power storage battery farms all over the place, and usual industry cranking away for Tier8.

Still haven't really built what I'd consider ton of base construction, but have 4-5 decent facilities and happily surprised file size hasn't grown too much.

Definitively more optimized..... They announced it while ago in june

Also the limit of save game in Steam cloud is 1gb. So they had to

1gb is just a number, devs can change it....
it wasn't the reason

I wish you could clear foliage and trees without the file size spiking.

Cloud size total can be changed by the devs, but only up to 100GB total. Individual file size in the cloud is a harder limit. At 100MB you need to use special methods of saving because the API doesn't want to help you anymore, above 256 MB you get sent to slower servers, and last I worked with it 400 MB was a hard limit. So you can have lots of savefiles, or they could split savefiles into multiple files, but it's impossible to sync a single 1GB save file to the cloud.
