Important Save Warning
This is the last version that will be compatible with your current saves.
The next version will contain a significant number of reworks and changes, so old saves will no longer be supported.
Because of this, bug reports for this version are not necessary. Any issues you encounter will likely be addressed alongside the upcoming reworks in the next version.
