FYI The unstable branch will use a ‘storage_unstable’ directory while we work on compatibility with stable. If you are currently running nightly, then you probably already know how everything works already. We will try to maintain save file compatibility within unstable as much as possible, but it will depend on what sort of changes we have to make during unstable, so we cant make any promises.
