Unfortunately there isn't a way to go back to v1.21 via Steam. And sadly I believe v1.21 is a Steam DRM build, so you would have been screwed even if you brought this up after the announcement of save game changes last week: https://steamcommunity.com/games/285110/...5494272585
Your only option was to disable updating GearCity in Steam. You could probably find an illegal pirated copy somewhere. But you will be taking a risk with the software.
Going forward, you can copy your game install into a separate folder and it should work without steam and without updating. I believe all builds after v1.22 are DRM free. Although when if you do jump up to v1.24, I suggest waiting until I announce save game changes in Steam before copying the folder. I am planning on a number of supplemental patches for v1.24 that do not break saves.
Sorry for the inconvenience, but that's what happens with in-development Early Access games.
