Editing Backing up your save directory (section)

== Backing up your save directory ==

Your game's save directory is very self-contained.  Backing it up is as simple as making a copy!

To find your save directory, open the main menu using {{Hamburger}} and select Options.  You will see a text box displaying your save location (Windows example):

[[File:Turing Complete Save Location.png|frameless|none|alt=Save location screenshot]]

Copy the location and navigate to it in your OS' file system (eg: Explorer in Windows, Finder in MacOS).  You can now copy the entire directory, zip it, or otherwise store it in a different location.

{{note|type=error|Do not share your backups in public forums (including the TC Discord server), or with anyone you don't completely trust.  In particular, the <code>settings.txt</code> file contains a personalized token that can be used to mess with your Steam profile.  If you wish to share your designs, make sure you are only sending the <code>schematics</code> directory (or better yet, only the specific schematics you're trying to show off).}}
