Iirc as long as it's 3d (post 0.23?) it should work, but a bunch of stuff in the raws are implemented at worldgen, and any items that came out later will consequently still not exist in that world, also don't come crying if some creature stays frozen forever because you switched out it's brain midstream  ...

But yes the savegame should be able to be loaded.

Had an idea for a community game where we roll the save to the next major update every so many turns, so I'm glad to hear it's possible, if not perfect

[dragdeler]

In your place I'd try injecting a modern raw into a historical version of DF... Janky as hell and might brick the world, but if it's a fresh world you can try... That way maybe all the items exist even if they are not being used or crafted in earlier versions? It's wortha try

[chaotic skies]

I'll try it if I ever get some free time. I'd hope the game would just ignore things if they're nonsense, but that's almost certainly too hopeful, even if DF wasn't running on fairy dust and sacrifices

[Ziusudra]

How backwards-compatible are major DF updates? Like if I wanted to take a save from .44 to .47, is that generally doable or going to be a bit of a project, if possible at all?

The last break listed there was 0.40.03.

I finally got off my arse about something I've been meaning to do for years last week and yesterday I finally got my first tickpest vaccine shot. Only three or four to go!

Good to know. This place is primordial by Internet standards.

If we are an ancient internet forum does that mean it was founded by aliens, since all ancient things were created by aliens.
