transplanting saves
« on: November 16, 2022, 09:22:16 am »

I am having issues transplanting my saves. I copied the region in the save folder of the one game, created a save folder on another game and chucked the extracted region in there but the save is not showing in the game. i went through the data/save route.

Legend tells of a fort besieged by a dragon. When 79 brave recruits fell to its breath, the last dwarf of the fort took up arms. He sprung from his sickbed and claimed an adamant one sword before he bulrushes the dragon. A clean swipe severs the head. But the dragon claws him in the lower body and burns him alive. As he melts into a pile of booze and fat, I rename him Ronnie James Dio and change his profession to dragonslayer. He will forever be immortalized and worshipped as a dragonslayer God.

Shall we assume this is on Windows?

What state was the save in, new world, active fort, retired fort, etc?

Was there more than one region folder?

Do you hav the game set to make auto-saves and/or backups?

Ironblood didn't use an axe because he needed it. He used it to be kind. And right now he wasn't being kind.

What DF versions are you transferring between? Asking because you cannot move saves saved in a newer DF version (e.g. 0.47.05) to an older DF version (e.g. 0.47.04). Packs/utilities don't matter, just the DF version.

There was a typo in the siegers' campfire code. When the fires went out, so did the game.
