Endnight's 1.0 announcement says an older save still works, but recommends a fresh save to experience the story and new features fully. That is a recommendation tied to the 1.0 release, not proof that every later patch invalidated old saves. Before choosing, make a separate backup, note the installed version and decide whether continuing construction/progress matters more than seeing the revised story flow from its start. No save was opened or tested for this guide.
