Saves from 7171 dont work for 718 for me. The dev said likely new versions will not work with previous saves for new versions. This is because he stopped adding new variants which mostly didn't change enough to break older saves. Now he's working on stuff he's been putting off that will change too much compared to previous versions, meaning the saves are not compatible enough. To offset this inconvenience, he also said he will implement a greater variety of cheats to help get back to where you were previously. I'm not sure when these cheats will be released, but I'm eager to see how they affect the game. Would be nice to have a spirit cheat button. I want to test different spirits and see how it is using different species, but right now its too much of a pain to jump back and forth with an editor, and cheat engine crashes my game after a bit most of the time. Either that or the target values quit applying because something causes the ID to change. Sometimes it starts applying the changes to a neph in my list because it took over the ID value. No other game I've played does this.
