Can i transfer my saves from 1.2.1 to 1.5.1?

I recently got my computer fixed and i don't want to loose a lot of progress i made.

Is there a way to transfer my saves onto the newer version?

Install your 1.5.1 in another directory. Copy over just what's in the 'saves' folder. That way, you can have the two games side by side. If 1.5.1 works, you can decide later to delete or archive your 1.2.1 install. If it doesn't work, you can still play 1.2.1 unaffected.

This is assuming a stock game. Mods will complicate things, but mostly comes down to the same thing as long as you install the same set of mods in both games.

Thank you.

Assuming it's a stock game there shouldn't be any major issues.

Wheels changed mechanics slightly, so you might have to readjust their advanced tweakables configuration if you use them.    Otherwise, any changes other than added parts are purely cosmetic.
