Do we as of yet know of the compatibility, seeing as it seems as though alot will be changed and added. Just wondering what, if any of our saves will carry-over, that will be all.

Saves will definitely not carry over. So much stuff has been added its ridiculous.
also the resource system has completely changed.  I mean completely.
So dwarf fortress in space eh?

I take it current mods will also not carry over? but seeing as the modding system is being put in place, I assume that won't be a problem :)

The modding system is being put in place at the moment but isn't done yet. Tynan is working hard on the game.

As for savegame compatibility. You could take your old savegame and it might even work. But it will carry over bugs and incorrect information.
It is always adviced to start a new game with a new version.

With save's XML type, it shouldn't be too hard to convert your save. You may loose some resources, but otherwise should be possiblé.

Savegames won't work any more. You could in principle modify one, but it would be very, very hard. Especially for this update. Sorry - the game changes to much between releases that I'm really not trying to maintain save compatibility. It doesn't even make sense; it's not the same game any more.

Now I'm not looking forward to making my scenarios compatible. But I love a challenge, so....  :)
