Saved 1.3 game with Leviathans

[Jester09]

Hi all! Loving the new patch so far but have a quick question. I downloaded the Heinlein patch, started a game and now have just downloaded the Leviathans DLC. Its allowing me to load the saved file but I was curious as to what that would do? Will Leviathans content start happening or will this always be a "pre DLC" game?

Thanks!!

It should theoretically mess up the thing since the new version has a new habitability system. If you were living on tropical worlds and colonized arid worlds then all your pops would die off. Also the system shouldn't be able to understand the composition of your fleet, so it may disappear. You can try it, but don't expect it to work.

Thanks for the quick response! Does Leviathans DLC modify the habitability? I thought that was the 1.3 Heinlein Patch. To be clear, I have the game saved in the 1.3 patch then downloaded the Lev DLC. It let me load the game but I was just wondering if any of the special events/features would show up. Its just Enclaves, Guardians and War in heaven, right?

Ohh sorry, misread this

In that case I still wouldn't be sure whether the content is already in your savegame. I've no experience with guardians or enclaves but I'd think that they are spawned when you create a new galaxy. Therefore a non-Leviathan 1.3 galaxy shouldn't have this content.

Best restart unless you're super keen to continue your existing save, you'll likely not have any Enclaves or Guardians generated for your galaxy. Fallen Empires and the regular space creature type guardians should be in there though.

Not sure, but leviatans and war in Heaven seems mainly events. So you should have them. I don't know if enclaves are generated at Galaxy creation time.

Thanks everyone! I went ahead and restarted (although for the record, I was totally going to win with that game...yep, no doubt about it, 100% sure...absolutely...probably ).

Off to see an Enclave now!

Wanted to bump this and ask again:

If I buy Leviathans will Enclaves and Guardians be encountered in an existing save started without Leviathans?

And ultimately, is the content worth the DLC?

I am not sure if the enclaves or guardians will start in an existing save, but I think not. I do feel that the content is very worth it. It gives you the feeling that galaxy is a very old, very strange and very dangerous place.
