How to export saved games. Using Apple MacPro system 10.13.1. NON-Steam computer based

/Users/<YourUserName>/Library/Containers/com.gambitious.transportfever/Data/Library/Containers/com.gambitious.transportfever/Data/Library/Application Support/Transport Fever

In the above folder you will find the user folders... among them there is a "save" folder containing all your saved games.

Hi Raddoc,

There are several ways to show those files.
As I use those files / folders of Transport Fever on a regular base, I created a shortcut to them using the following way:

Step1: Setup Finder to show your "home" folder (its your user name folder under favorites next to a house / home symbol) - see PIC1.PNG

• Open Finder
• in the menu bar go to "Finder / settings" or press "CMD" + "," keys to open the settings of the finder app.
• set the checkbox next to the "house / home" symbol.
• close the settings window - your home folder with the house symbol should now be visible under favorites in the sidebar

Step2: Setup Finder to show the library folder - see PIC2.PNG

• in Finders sidebar click at your home folder
• in the menu bar click at "view" / "show options" or press "CMD" + "j" keys to open the view settings
• set the checkbox to show the Library folder and click at "use as default"
• close the settings window

Step3: Create Shortcut to your Transport Fever user files - see PIC3.PNG

• in finder click at your home folder
• navigate through the Library folder down to the "Transport Fever" folder (see list in my first reply)
• click and hold the "Transport Fever" folder to use Drag & Drop and drop it to your favorites bar in the sidebar

Now, you might reverse the settings made in Step1 and Step2 if you want. If you need to do anything in your Transport fever users library, you can just open finder and click at the "Transport Fever" folder in your sidebar.

There you will find
- your save games in the "save" folder
- your stdout.txt in the crash_dump folder (often needed for analysis when TPF crashed)
- your screenshots & recordings folder containing the recorded files if you were using those features during debug mode of the game
- your settings.lua containing your user settings of the game including all currently used mod files when starting a new free game
- the "texture_cache" folder, which contents can be deleted in case you ran into texture problems - note that when deleting the contents, the next time you start a game it needs longer to start in order to create the files again.
- etc.

Please note that you you should only change something in the files, while the game is NOT running!

Last but not least, if you want to install MOD's, MAP's, modify your game settings by changing the base_config.lua etc., just right click the Transport Fever app in Finder and select "Show package contents" in the context menu.

Hope this helps
Andre
