Save Transfer
« on: April 30, 2011, 06:55:36 am »

OK this isn't so much from game-to-game as it is across computers.  My laptop completely borked out thanks to a trojan, but I tried to save my Fort by copying the entire "save" folder onto a flash drive.  If I just copy-paste this folder into the DF folder on another computer, replacing ITS "save" folder and everything in it, will that be a successful Save transfer?  Or is there more I need to get from my comp before it gets Formatted on Monday?

No change in version, I still plan on using 31.18 afterwards just like before.

Alright, thanks.  Just wanted to check to make sure I got everything needed before everything got wiped.

Your save is likely many times larger than the base DF install. You might as well just copy the entire DF folder over.
