Projects and autosave
How do projects work?
Section titled “How do projects work?”Save your work as a project and reopen it later. You can keep several projects and switch between them, so different maps stay separate. Open the Projects panel from the toolbar to create, save, rename and load projects.
- Save (Ctrl+S): re-saves the open project. The first time, it opens the Projects panel so you can name it.
- Save as new (Ctrl+Shift+S): saves the current map as a brand-new project, leaving the original untouched.
- New project (Ctrl+N): clears to a fresh random island. If you have unsaved changes, it asks first.
- Closing the app with unsaved changes asks before anything is lost: Save, Don’t save, or Cancel.
How does autosave and recovery work?
Section titled “How does autosave and recovery work?”Crucible autosaves to a separate rolling backup, so a crash or an accidental close does not lose your progress. If a newer autosave exists when you reopen, the app offers to restore it.
How do app updates work?
Section titled “How do app updates work?”Updates install inside the app, with no re-downloads or reinstalls. When a new version is ready you get a prompt on launch to install it or skip it, and you can check manually any time in Settings > Subscription > Check for updates. After updating, a “What’s new” summary shows what changed in the versions you skipped. Your projects, seeds and settings are kept through every update.
