Guide for Transferring Worlds

[riversgallery]

How to transfer hosting of a Core Keeper world from one PC to another. I use Windows but hopefully some of this will translate well to other OS users.

You can copy the files across from one PC to another but be mindful that the corresponding number on the file is one less than the slot of the world on the world menu. So file “0.json” will correspond to the world in slot 1, “1.json” will correspond to the world in slot 2, e.g.

On the File Explorer menu click “Options” and then “View” and make sure “show hidden folders, files and drives” has been chosen.

Then you want to go into your main drive (typically C://) and follow the following path;
Users/[username]/AppData/LocalLow/Pugstorm/CoreKeepers/Steam/[numbers]

The folders you will need to look at are;
1. worldgenparams
2. worldinfos
3. Worlds

You need to copy the corresponding files from each of these folders. I took both the main file and the backup copy. All these files may not be needed but this is what I did and it worked for me. Remember you want the number that is one less than the slot your world is in within the Core Keepers world selection menu.

You then want to take those files and paste them into the correct folders in the new PC or the PC that will be taking over hosting your co-op.

Make sure you are re-naming the files (if needed) to make sure they will correspond to the next empty menu slot on the new PC. I had the new PC disconnected to the internet at the time just in case – this might be overcautious.

Load up Core Keeper and your old game should have been pulled into the menu!

I believe the files for characters are under “saves” but I haven’t looked into that any further!

When I needed to find this information I really struggled to find it for 1.0 so hopefully this helps others!!

ok nice to read that it worked, at my end i just switched worlds around at the slots (as i wanted the 1.0 world on top) and ended with some more edits cause the minimap refused to show up :D so i guess multiplayer is either handled different with the minimap or it does work because you all already had the minimap with the matching ID
