Can somebody confirm it is better to cancel the old database and copy the new one rather than overwrite?
I may have just been unlucky as the first game I created with 1.70 had a several strange bugs at the start (first time since 1.0 release), then I remember that I overwritten the database rather than cancel it like I usually do and so I have just cancelled the old database and installed the new one and so far no issues. Then, of course, I read about the colony bug so I revert to my 1.6.3 game.
thanks.
