Downloaded 1.09 and as per my usual I've started fresh... My first game in 1.09 I found that the designs for the the game I'd overwritten was still in the Game1 folder for my new game. All of the ship designs were still there. Quit game and deleted those files manually to clean out the folder. Started another game and overwrote a different earlier game but once again the new game had all of the "overwritten" files still there. Doesn't appear that 1.09 cleans out the earlier data.
Anyone else have this occur? Suggestions?
Thanks.

I dont know what you're talking about precisely. My experience was surprise at how my old unused designs were always disappearing. I finally found out why. Every in game december those unused designs were being deleted because of the check-mark box being active in the options screen. So I promptly turned that off and unused designs stuck around.
In your case, I can guess that what you're saying is that you started a second game in the save save slot as a previous game and discovered that your designs of the previous game were still there? As I understand it, when you select a new game on a used save slot, everything in that that save slot gets deleted in favor of the new games files. IS that not your experience?

sittingduck , I can confirm that this is happening and should not be happening. I've added the issue to our internal bug list.

All of the previous designs were still available. If I opened the Design Ship button all of the designs that should have been deleted by being overwritten when starting a new game were still there. Hadn't had this occur prior to 1.09. Thanks for the quick response (don't you ever sleep?)... |

I slept 7 hours. Just have a lot of downtime right now and lack motivation to do other things atm. That will change soon. I'm not sure that's working as intended, sittingduck . What designs are you talking about? You need to Design Ship and then Open Existing Design to see the old ones of the previous game. Afaik, the old designs were deleted by a new game. Edit: jwsmith26 beat me to it. |

This will be fixed in the next release. In the meantime you can manually delete the specific save directory that you are planning to reuse (e.g. "Game4" - Do not delete the "Save" directory!). You don't need to recreate the directory, the game will create it when a new game is set to use that save slot.

Actually, I like to reuse old designs.
I made an "archive" folder next to the game folders, where I store some "basic" designs which I can later load into the ship builder when designing ships during a new game.
Doing the designs from scratch, especially the top-down views, every time is way to time consuming (and gets a bit boring,tbh).
