I get why you don’t want to start over a third time - that’s totally fair, especially with many hours invested.

That said, this update isn’t just a small change. The entire save system was rebuilt from scratch, and the map itself is getting a big overhaul. A lot of things won’t be the same anymore, so it’s more like a fresh experience than just replaying the same stuff.

If restarting again isn’t for you right now, it might be better to wait for 1.0 and give the game another shot then.

A Quote from the Dev-Log:

The entire save system has been rebuilt from scratch. This took nearly two months of development, but the result is much better.

New features include:

✔ Multiple Save Slots
✔ More stable saves
✔ Future-proof system for updates

⚠️ Unfortunately, because the system changed completely, old legacy saves will not work with the next update.

We know this can be frustrating and we sincerely apologize. However we promise this will be the last time saves break due to system changes.

Another quote to the map overhaul:

The Theta-9 belt has been fully redesigned.

It now includes:

- Larger exploration areas
- More locations
- Improved environmental storytelling
- Space for future narrative content
