Serialization version history:
  1: Original format.  Serialized Lua table with a weird linked format...
  2: Position and node seperated into sub-tables in fields `1` and `2`.
  3: List of nodes, one per line, with fields seperated by spaces.
      Format: <X> <Y> <Z> <Name> <Param1> <Param2>
  4: Serialized Lua table containing a list of nodes with `x`, `y`, `z`,
      `name`, `param1`, `param2`, and `meta` fields.
  5: Added header and made `param1`, `param2`, and `meta` fields optional.
      Header format: <Version>,<ExtraHeaderField1>,...:<Content>
