Has anyone figured out how to use old version of game?
I was playing on update 7 using the method of downloading an old depot of the game so I can still use mods like micro-manager and area actions but since 1.0 came out this method doesn't work. As soon as I replace the depot and start the game it forces an update. Worse, my moded world doesn't open even in vanilla anymore. Has anyone found a solution to run an old version of the game?

It's possible to use SteamCMD to go back to previous versions of the game. This only works if you own the game on Steam - there is no alternative for Epic. For Epic, you must back a backup of the game files before the update occurs (so turn off auto update to make this easier!)

we don't offer further support than these directions, but others may be willing to help
Thank you, I did most of these steps except moving it where Steam wouldn't find it, I'll give it a try. Thank you.
