World Transfer
« on: December 07, 2015, 03:27:44 pm »
There is something really messed up with my game so I'm going to re-download the game (same version). The only problem is that I have a really kick butt world that I want to keep, so I'm going to try to copy it to the new game. If you go into the file raw and then the file save there is another file that has your region and your world it is called region 1 (or region 2 or region 3 e.t.c). Is that the only file I need to copy into the new game? Or are there more than that one file?

Just store your seed of said world and build a new world using this seed.
It will always be the same.

The region folders contain all the files needed for the corresponding world.
The seeds will generate the same world if the generation is based on the same init settings, so if you have modified those you'll have to repeat those changes to get the same result.

However, it seems you're after the region folder copying option to just continue, but there is a risk the mess is inside the save, so I'd keep the regeneration option open as a backup.
