Most likely, the update will not completely ruin saves, but mods are always iffy. Plus, this update will add a ton of mostly sciency stuff, so it might be a good idea to start from a clean slate anyway.

How i go through a new version:

1- backup the whole directory

2- Install new stuff, copy saves in, look around the forums for known broken mods, copy working mod files

3- If mods bar you from using new version, play in old version (see 1)

4- Once mods work, enjoy.

I think the only time i restarted a savefile was for 0.21 as i has too many landed assets and that's what got broken.

Heck, I've yet to hit a viable launch window for Eve or Duna yet so I'll be saving trillions on each failed rendezvous, crash landing, exhausted fuel supply, stranded crew...

Bring it on. 8)

This might help: http://ksp.olex.biz/ I've used that to get to + land on all celestial bodies.

Whats being added in this update? Im not very good at keeping track..

As far as I know, Harv said that this update should not be save-breaking.

Yeah, I'm going to have fuel depots ready. Just got to get the new science systems there.

More boardgames and more "trash" compartments.

Oh, I'm definitely using it but I'm only a month old player and I'm still 30+ K-days from my first window (that I noticed; I only found this calculator a week ago).

Nothing happened... There was an update, but still no changes. I've ensured my directory is mod free, and I'll backup persistent.sfs and VAB ships just in case.

Personally, I try to keep my version of the game as up-to-date as possible, mods be damned.

First, you will feel a feeling of unbounded joy.

second, if you're on steam it will auto-update

second (, you go to the store and attempt to download it

third (, you get annoyed that the severs are overloaded and burn your computer.

fourth (, you finally get the new version.

fifth (, you spam the forums.

sixth, you wait for the next update

REPEAT UNTILL DEAD

Or you can turn off the auto update in Steam, if you run it that way, and turn it on when you're ready (after the backup and the confirmation by the update-thumpers on the forum).

I tend to keep an copy of the old game, install this as KSP22, copy saves and ships, and re download mods who needs updating.

Set the Kerbal Alarm Clock and timewarp to that date?

Also, be prepared to have to wait several hours. The KSP Squad Team has never been able to hold their servers up despite always saying "we fixed it this time!" so you probably won't get the update for many hours.

This was very evident with .17 and probably all others afterward, I've just gotten used to it.

This is the only solitary reason why I transferred to Steam. The update downloads the exact moment it's released (or the exact moment Steam starts up after release) at full speed with no delays. It's absolutely glorious.
