Version differences
Unstable
The Unstable version (included with the game on Steam) is an unstable release that "may destroy your saves and be generally, well, unstable."[5] Updates are usually released to the Unstable version in advance for public testing, before being pushed to the main branch, and Steam Workshop mods cannot normally be accessed by the Unstable version. Between updates, however, the Unstable version is otherwise exactly the same as the standard version.
