Moving my space station (in orbit) to .21.1 from .20?

[captainreynolds]

Is this possible? I've poured a bunch of hours into it and would like to upgrade, but from what I have read saves break in .21. It's modular and there are over 10 pieces I have launched to make it.

I have a couple of mods on it, blinking aviation lights and spacejunk cargo bays. If I have to jump into the .craft file (if there is a craft file for stuff built in orbit) to remove stuff, that's fine. I should be able to just undock the space cargo bays.

Just copy your save file onto .21.1 and it should ask you if you want to try and convert it when you try to load it. Make sure you have all the mods installed and hopefully it'll work, there's no guarantees though.

Okay, I'll give it a try. Will mods that say .20 on them work with .21? Namely my spacejunk cargo bays and my Kerbal attachment system mod have this issue.

I upgraded and my save game was fine. Make a copy so you still have the old file when you try to upgrade.

It seems to upgrade fine, but it doesn't like that I have the mechjeb for .21 and a few parts from the first mechjeb are missing. I think I can remove the mechjeb pieces from the save, I will give it a try.

Okay, sorry for double post. Removed the old .20 mechjeb parts from my station (which were not in the mechjeb version for .21). Upgraded every mod that had an upgrade, and then backed up the save and moved it to .21. Imported just fine and saved myself hours of trouble!

.21 is awesome. Excited to use the new stuff. Seems faster too!
