The_Dizzie Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 I've seen some mentions around that it is possible to have multiple saves though I cant find a walk through of how to do it. And I cant seem to locate the game on my computer. I want to make a back up of my world since my little brother wants to play it too and I rather him not be able to kill off my character and ruin all my work as it is. Im playing the steam version.

BarovSoap Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 You have to go through your steam files there is a list of the games and each game has a save folder. I play on Chrome so I dont know the exact route.

BarovSoap Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 It should be something like this C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\username\dontstarve\dontstarve\save Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/6420-how-to-do-multiple-saves-and-back-ups/#findComment-52735 Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Dizzie Posted January 10, 2013 Author Share Posted January 10, 2013 There doesnt seem to be a save folder anywhere. I found a log, I copied it to my desktop and deleted it but it just reappeared when I started the game and my save was still intact Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/6420-how-to-do-multiple-saves-and-back-ups/#findComment-52739 Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamawari Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 The path is "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\[iD]\219740\remote".

BarovSoap Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Karamawari most likely knows more about it than I do, as I said I use the Chrome version.

The_Dizzie Posted January 10, 2013 Author Share Posted January 10, 2013 I found it a while ago but copying it doesnt back anything up, something is reading the save time or something because if I swap the files to and older one it wont play. It doesnt matter though since my brother already killed 150 days of progress by setting my camp on fire and poking a spider queen =| Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/6420-how-to-do-multiple-saves-and-back-ups/#findComment-52973 Share on other sites More sharing options...

A different thread hinted that this is indeed possible. Is there anyone on here that has successfully backed up a save and then restarted it at a later date?

Toaster Fu Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 I believe the key is to import the old save back in, not just put it in the folder.

The_Dizzie Posted January 11, 2013 Author Share Posted January 11, 2013 Yeah doin that and it isnt working either. At this point I've restarted 9 worlds now and lost each one when I reopen Dont Starve. I dont know what is going on but at this point I just cant play anymore because every time I open the game I have to start over Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/6420-how-to-do-multiple-saves-and-back-ups/#findComment-53449 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Dizzie Posted January 11, 2013 Author Share Posted January 11, 2013 Yeah, that's what I'm waiting on. Anyone else trying to manipulate these files for a back up though, I'd suggest just not touching it as it seems to make things worse.
