      And finally, I'll write this to you.

      If you're not in here in the chat, Dr. Glauch, I'll write this to you personally because this was your question and you're actually very curious about this.

      Being able to get the trailer saves, the ones we use for the 1.0 trailer and factories in the past for update 8 and the other trailers.

      Could you get them, the community, to just explore or play in them?

      And the short answer is no, and that's disappointing, I know, but it's just because those saves, they were made in-house, and they were made in-house with very specific dev tools, cheats even, but also other dev tools, that

      would probably work to boot up normally through Steam which actually I didn't even think of and I didn't I should have seen coming we never actually have booted these saves up through Steam they've all been shot in editor in Unreal

    2. Jason

      Yeah.

      Basically, there's a ton of stuff in the saves that needs to be there for the factories to work, for anything to function properly, and it's only playable in our editor build of the game.

      Yeah.

    3. Mikael

      And so, yeah, while they might still be bootable on the PC platforms or even console, the chances are extremely high they would behave very erratically.

      So we're going to choose to say no for now.

      Maybe explore that.

      That's probably something for me or you, anyone in this room specifically to explore when we have like free time.

      But for now, no.
