Recovering Early Access Wrenches

Overall, feedback and responses regarding version 1.0 have been very positive. However, the two main criticisms we've heard revolve around multiplayer issues and the loss of progress for Early Access players.

As you may be aware, valuing your time and commitment as a player has always been a fundamental part of our philosophy. We couldn't find a clean and compelling solution to retain your progress, and we believed that resetting it wouldn't be a significant issue, as we thought it would enhance the overall gameplay experience and allow you to fully explore the 1.0 version of the game (with all the new intertwined progression elements)

We were clearly mistaken, and we completely understand your frustration.

We apologize for the gaming time "lost" due to the complete reset.

We attempted to find a solution, even though it may seem a bit late now. As the saying goes, better late than never, and we have found a way to restore things.

The idea is to retrieve the wrenches and classes you had unlocked from the remaining Early Access save. However, please be aware that the process is a bit unconventional, and it may not work if you don't have the save file on the same computer as your Early Access version.

Implementation
While booting up the game for the first time after updating to 1.0.1, you'll be prompted with a message asking you whether or not you'd like to be refunded the Wrenches you spent during Early Access.

Pressing 'Yes' will grant you a number of Wrenches equivalent to the ones spent during your Early Access playthrough.

It will also unlock the Classes you previously unlocked.

It won't unlock the gadgets though as they are now unlocked through different means. Same goes for difficulty levels since they changed.

Limitations
People who played during the 1.0 playtest might not be able to retrieve their Wrenches.

Our suggestion
Like we previously said when we announced the progress wipe we really think it'd be better not to retrieve those wrenches and to experience the full 1.0 experience from scratch.

But time is an expansive resource, a finite one, one you can't retrieve. We understand the issue raised by the progress wipe and that's why we implemented this wrench retrieval system.

Enforcing the decision to wipe instead of giving you the choice was a mistake and we apologize for that.

We hope that this addition will make it up to you, even if it's coming a bit late.
