BACKUP YOUR SAVES
Date
March 17!

So as someone who just started playing a few days ago, do they push save-breaking updates? Do I need to worry about this if I stick to release versions? I’ve played some games that wreck saves with every update, just trying to gauge how Satisfactory is on the scale of “Banner announcing it was why I noticed” to “we have a sub-culture for save backup optimization out of necessity”
Not at all. “Experimental” is the branch/release version. In steam it’s in the Betas tab, you would need to opt into it. For long timers like me I’ve been doing experimental releases with Satisfactory for years, and it’s part of a way to give back, give bug reports and note things that are weird. For you, doing nothing will keep you on the stable branch :)
I’ll add that stable is usually that, very stable, but even on big stable releases, back up your saves just in case. They’ve always been good of it staying on experimental until they’re very sure it’s stable, but better safe than sorry.
Awesome, thanks. Coming from some early access games recently, I’ve ended up with mild fears of updates that delete progress, so this is good to hear
You should back up your saves regularly anyway with the amount of hours normally put in its just Smart Ludusavi
