Idle Research Pre-Release Important Post!
Release is around the corner. I am just as excited as you are all :)
A lot of people are probably wondering if demos saves will transfer to the release version.
Unfortunately, they will not (details on why later).
However, you can use the save bank and pick a post where you want to start off if you'd like to.
SAVE BANK!
Additionally, the game will look for a demo save. If one exists, it'll ask you if you want to start fresh or import a save that has roughly ~e80 energy. This save will unlock a brand new feature that was not included in the demo!
Up to you on what you want to do. I personally say you should start fresh to get a feel of all the new changes.
Now the why:
There are currently two layers of content: Flasks and Tubes. At the time of the demo release, these were being managed under the same save file. It was an absolute mess to say the least. Adding a third layer of content was going to be a massive amount of pain, so I knew things needed to be changed.
Now, there are several save files! One for general data (such as achievements, settings, etc), flasks, and tubes. The nice thing here is that this will allow me to expand the game with ease and eventually add holiday events.
I hope you all understand!

Transferring Saves from Demo
I messed up the build name for the demo, causing saves to not transfer to the full release :(
However, there is a way! It's not too bad, here are the steps:
Make sure you have ran the full release version of Idle Research, for those who have access already (and those who will in the future :D)
- Make sure Idle Research and the Demo version are closed.
- Search %APPDATA% in Windows Search
- Go back to the AppData folder if you are not in it for some reason.
- Go to "LocalLow" folder
- Go to "CryptoGrounds" folder
- Go to "Idle Research Demo" folder
- Copy that "saves" folder
- Go back and then go to "Idle Research" folder
- Paste the folder in there and replace existing files.
Now you can launch Idle Research and things should be good to go.
Sorry if this is a pain, now I will remember to do Demos correctly in the meantime :)
Thanks!
