N00b question, please bear with me (need new game to get updates)

nibbio

First of all, i must say that i searched this thing around for a while...got some answers too.
Also used "search forum"...with no relevant results.
I'm not that good with english so i might have missed something.

So here it is: In experimental branch, do i need to start a new game after every "major" (> ~200mb) update? I think the answer is yes, but i also see players whom get the ingame content without starting a new game.

Thank you so much in advance and please....write it simple

You pretty much have to if you want to keep it simple.

Simple? Yes.

When an update comes out, there is a possibility and old save will crash/become unstable/is lacking certain new (update) content


That is basically the reason you'd have to start over, but it's not mandatory as it ... well... "can work" sometimes...

There is a procedure you can use to upgrade your save to get the new map, but in general if you're playing experimental you should expect to have to restart frequently.
