The new versions should be updated on SendOwl as they're cleared for release, atm 253c is in testing and, to my knowledge, can only be accessed by members of the DevTeam. The fix should be updated on SendOwl soon if it hasn't been already.

And sadly yes. Unfortunately at the moment when Rimworld is updated; because it's so early in the Alpha stage, you can't return to a save from the previous versions. You would have to build a new base 

I commiserate with the serious city-builders and reiterate that backers must realise this is a VERY EARLY work in progress and the fact that it's as functional as it is already is only because of Tynan's work ethic.
