Hey people, so I’ve been having some issues booting the game, and decided to reinstall my game and transfer my previous safe file, however I have zero idea what I am doing and the reinstalled game while it works, does not have my old world in it. Please help I really wanna keep my previous run.

You’ll need to transfer the /save/ folder from your previous install to your current install.

I did that, however, it doesn’t seem to work properly.

I moved the save file over to the new install, and it even seems to put newly made worlds into the same file. I suppose I might as well create a new game, would suck to have to go through early game yet again but my character would have perished eventually.

I accept the cycle of entropy and rebirth. I let my run die, and reborn a new with a fresh expermental build
