Questions about the next update

[Pop Guy]

Will the new update be backwards compatible with the old worlds? Or is it necessary to create a new world?

Will it be possible to create a base entirely on the sea without the game's performance dropping dramatically?

Is there a way to grow plants (other than plant-meat) in the sea?

Is there any way to prevent sharks being spawned at sea?

That's all

I have used an old world to see the new content so, as always, klei will release it for old worlds too

To my knowledge, Klei retrofitted all return of them updates onto old worlds (even if you missed several and later opened an old world), so I expect them to do the same for this one.

Technically possible already, but beta makes it better.

No.

As far as I'm aware, no.
EDIT: Forgot to mention you can disable them.
