Starsand Island Early Access Save Transfer to 1.0
Can an Early Access save transfer into Starsand Island Version 1.0?
Direct answer
The sources recorded for this module do not confirm one universal Early Access save-transfer rule for Version 1.0. Keep the old save, make a backup, launch the current build, and record whether the save is detected before starting a new file. Do not publish a guaranteed transfer or wipe claim until an official note or repeated current-build test supports it.
Evidence: Needs verification
Prerequisites
- Back up the existing save before launching a new build.
- Record the platform, store version, and save date.
- Keep a separate test save if you need to compare old and new behavior.
Evidence: Needs verification
Steps and rules
- Update to the current Version 1.0 build.
- Launch with the existing save available and check whether it appears normally.
- Record any migration prompt, missing content, or progression mismatch.
- Report the result with platform, build, and save age instead of deleting the original file.
Evidence: Needs verification
Exceptions and branches
- A save can load while individual quests or systems still need a version-specific check.
- Platform saves and PC saves may follow different migration rules.
- A community success report does not prove every Early Access save will transfer.
Evidence: Needs verification
Troubleshooting
- Do not overwrite the backup while investigating a migration issue.
- Verify the save location and account before assuming the file is gone.
- If the save loads but multiplayer or Moonlit Forest content looks wrong, test those systems separately.

Evidence boundary
This module currently has no official transfer statement strong enough to promise that every Early Access save will migrate cleanly into 1.0. The safe answer is backup, test, and record the exact platform/build result.

FAQ
Should I delete my Early Access save before 1.0?
No. Keep a backup until the current build has been tested and the migration result is understood.
Does a successful community transfer guarantee mine will work?
No. Treat it as a report tied to that player's platform, build, and save state.
