I seriously have no clue how the players of kenshi in kenshi discord or even reddit community is afraid to use the import button.
When it's a dev tool left by the dev's to literally unfuck your save file if something fucked it.
Like disappearing character, or character having wrong stats or a world state getting loaded without the proper trigger, or an update happened and causes bugs, or when a city bugs out placing multiple or different building in the same location or not letting them load.
Basically shit that you don't have control over and you know it fucked your save file.
Like literally if you look into the history of the import. it was literally made because the dev can't figure out how to stop the game from bugging on long play through's and decided that they'd left it there to be used.
Since I joined that discord community, I keep seeing wrong info about how the import works. like everyone is given a false info that Import somehow breaks the game instead of fixing it.
And everyone is running with that belief without really testing it.
