Update 2 is finally here!
After nearly 3 months of development, Update 2 is officially out on the Early Access branch. To all of those who have helped test the Alpha and Experimental version of the update, thank you! This update would not have been possible without your help.
To those that haven't yet experienced the update, I hope you enjoy all that it has to offer. Please remember that because of all the changes Update 2 introduces, Update 1 saves will not work!
Update 2 | Post Update Plans
This is only the start of Update 2. There are still many updates to come over the coming weeks introducing even more new features and content to the game. Here's what these updates will entail...
Update v0.2.1 | Bug fix update - July 11th
Update v0.2.2 | Fixer drone update - July 13th
Update v0.2.3 | Settings update - July 15th
And these are updates that are coming, but I'm still not sure as to when or what version it will be in.
Update v0.2.x | Experimental mods update
Update v0.2.x | Drone configuration update
Update v0.2.x | Barracks building update
Update v0.2.x | Gameplay modifiers update
Once all these updates are implemented and Update 2 is stable, work on Update 3 will begin!
Accessing Experimental Saves
Follow theses steps to bring experimental saves over to the Early Access branch.
1) Navigate to your hidden folders (%appdata%)
2) Find Vectorio (Usually in locallow/vectorio/vectorio)
3) Locate the appropriate save number you want to move over
4) Rename the save to "world_#.save" (where # is the save number)
Note: Make sure there are no duplicate save numbers! You can always change it if need be.
Troubles Loading Saves?
Because of the changes in the save structure for Update 2, alongside extension changes, old files may cause the game to bug out when it searches for pre-existing saves. If you are experiencing issues with this, remove the "location.save" and "settings.save" files, as well as any alpha / update 1 saves.
