So I know the developers answered this question:
**Will my save files carry over with each new update in Coral Island?
Carrying over saves will be handled on a per-update basis. Our goal is to maintain your save files as we update the game. However, some updates may fundamentally change the game. When this happens, all progression data will be reset, except for gold, inventory, farm layout, interior, and mastery.**
My question is: What is included in "farm layout"? Does it include animals I own (cows, chickens, etc)? Crops I'm currently growing? Where I put machines?
I'm curious because I bought the game and haven't started it yet, and I want an idea of what I'll lose in a future update so I don't focus on that part now (eg relationships, musuem donations)
