Honestly, this is early access and there is absolutely NO guarantees that anyone will be able to keep all their progress when the final game releases, however the devs have said that they are doing everything in their power to NOT have to reset / wipe, but also said they don't know for sure.

Just to avoid disappointment I already assume all my progress is just "practice" and not getting too attached. I also plan to start fresh whenever new biomes are added and definitely planning to start fresh once the game is released fully... just because.
