MMmm, that new save smell. Who is starting over?

[Xacktar]

I know I'm starting a new career save to check out everything with new eyes. Who else is starting over again now that we have new parts and new mechanics? What will you be doing different this time?

[KvickFlygarn87]

I'll probably get a science overhaul mod.

[KasperVld]

Apparently one of the last changes made was modifying the game so that asteroids and other things should also work when you're using an old save!

[qromodynmc]

So,question; our save from .23,5 will work on 0.24?

[timsfitz]

Its out! Can't wait until I get home from work to start a new career game.... Probably have to play with my kid first... And cook dinner.... And put him to bed... But still!

[regex]

For once, not me. I might start a new save to check out the new features, but I have a vested interest in my current game. I'll be waiting for all my mods to update, though.

I'll have to test this when I get home.

I did however manage to save new savegames with nothing in them, before and after the update, and the new block is this:

        SCENARIO
        {
                name = ScenarioDiscoverableObjects
                scene = 7, 8, 5
                ^E = 559298752
                sizeCurve
                {
                        key = 0 0 1.5 1.5
                        key = 0.3 0.45 0.875 0.875
                        key = 0.7 0.55 0.875 0.875
                        key = 1 1 1.5 1.5
                }
        }

Plus a "PotatoRoid" vessel object with a discovery block:

                        DISCOVERY
                        {
                                state = 1
                                lastObservedTime = 0.02
                                lifetime = 1717762.28027344
                                refTime = 1728000
                                size = 2
                        }

[sardaukar11]

I will start a new save

[Aragosnat]

I'll be starting over as I think engineer redux mod was killing my SSTO space planes or the fact that I have 80+ active flights

Is this true? Anyone verify it yet? I HOPE it is, I truly do.

But I can manage either way.

This is true? I went into my old save and i didn't see them.

THIS IS COMFIRED

Both my career and sandbox save spawns new asteroids. if you do not see any, just speed up time to check to see if they will appear!

thats great

[Rassa Farlander]

I always start over after a new update Ive learned a lot by doing this I think.

[KasperVld]

Please report any issues in the Support Forum. That's where you can get help, not here.

Wasnt expecting help, only confirmation that they do spawn in old saves. I personally checked it out, and now that my older saves get all of the "new stuff" i will not be starting over.

If they didn't spawn them, i would of started over just as the OP is doing. Now they do, i probably wont as my newest save has to much in it to just throw away.

[Moon Goddess]

I'm gonna wait a bit before I start over so I can confirm that, a few mods are all working.

[Werwolf]

This is fantastic news. Definitely worth the wait. I'm downloading now.... I am going to make an impact mission for an asteroid immediately! Good work Squad!

[tstehler1]

New save for me. My old one was getting crowded anyway, the set of new parts and new asteroids is a perfect excuse to restart.

[North]

Lost everything besides the flags and saved ships.

[SRV Ron]

Use Steam to update, then placed a copy in my Game folder and named it KSP 0.23.5. That way, I keep a original in the Steam folder and can play with the updated game in the Game folder. Will play with the stock items before adding any mod parts.

[kiwiak]

my last career save was mess anyway.. i got as far as to duna, but with many additional mods like ta life cupport, interstellar, remotetech and bunch of other stuff

other saves dont require any messing with asteroids so i will stay with them, i will just stick to asteroids in new career save.

[superm18]

I Always start a new save.

I Always keep my old saves.

[O-Doc]

I started a new career save last week called "925NoF5". I'm most of the way through the science tree and it's been a very, very different experience. I love it! It might be time to bury F5 once and for all.

[JumpsterG]

Yes! I actually kind of like starting over. Lets you approach the game in new ways each time!

[Taki117]

I personally won't be using a new save until I finish the Tech tree in my Total Conversion save (Still .23) but after that all bets are off!

[mellojoe]

Since asteroids spawn in old saves, i will NOT be starting a new save. I have been doing long term missions to put flags and mine kethane on every single celestial body. I've already done most of the hard ones: Eve, Eeloo, Moho. All I have left of the really hard ones is Tylo, which is next up. These have been going so well, I hated to think about starting all over. Now I don't have to!

I'll continue my Kethane missions, but I'm going to be doing asteroid wrangling inbetween. Can't WAIT
