Sawdust saves are a proper database format, and are not easily read/written without the official library for them, which is only available for Java

what is the best approach for allowing third-party devs to edit save files?

[ ] offer a converter to a simpler format
[ ] allow running a "database server" to modify the save
[ ] throw this format away, you need something simpler
[ ] just let them fend for themselves
