Is there (or will there be) any way to backup saves?

immafirestarter · 08-15-2022, 06:51 PM

Right now I can't find anyway to create multiple save files per game (like a backup that you can reload if things go pear shaped). Is there something I am missing? Will this be added? Seems like an oversight to me.

Thanks

There's an auto-save folder, which gets automatically used if a problem is detected. On mobile though there's no way of manually doing it officially.
Although, on Android at least, you can go into the device's memory and copy the .lg files if you really wish to manually back things up.
iOS can be a bit of a pain though, since Apple really likes to hide things/prevent access. An official manual backup system is on the list of things we'd like to add though.

Really appreciate the reply, it's great that you are thinking about adding it! Other then that I'm enjoying the game so far.

Great to hear. How about a Save As option to create a new version of the saved game that we can reload?
