I haven’t even read the article yet and I’m at full sail.
Edit after reading:
The new rails look gorgeous, and I need those new S-bends immediately. And those smooth curves!
And this:
is how you know a game dev is in touch with their audience.
Although this confirms my suspicions from last week that 1.1.x maps will be incompatible with the 2.x update, which is a shame but completely understandable. That just means that I have to hurry up and launch my first rocket before that happens! (I swear I’m making actual progress and not just staring blankly at my machines at work)
It says that you can still use the old rails but you won’t be able to build them the same way. You can just rebuild the trails you really need or want the other way
Ah, I misinterpreted that, it seems you’re right. Still, it looks like there will come a point where 1.1.x maps will no longer be supported, which is again understandable.
It sounds more like you’d have to load the savegame in 2.0, then load it from 2.1. Theoretically they aren’t changing Nauvis all that much, so I can’t see why it would be unsupported just yet.
I’m sure it will come with a way to update the map like opening with the second to last update to reformat it. It would be a shame for some megabases I’ve seen to just stop being able to play them
