Moving in a couple weeks - Will Trove work on a new computer?

[Xmaster13]

So im moving out of my current living situation in a few weeks, this means another computer and having to download steam and my other games again. Does anyone know how Trove stores its information? Also, how should I go about backing up my games? I know you can backup your games and stuff on steam, and you could prolly route it to a portable harddrive, but would'nt steam expect the folder format to be the same? So if I was to transfer it to the computer, Steam would expect it to be somewhere in the external hardrive, right? I have basic knowledge of programing and am pretty good at finding my way around files directorys and stuff, but I dont even know where to begin on backing Steam so it will work on another system. This was the first computer I've ever had Steam on and I really want to keep all my games and game progress. I realize that its not really a Trove specific question, and it most likely has a really easy answer, but I seriously don't want to risk losing anything. (This game is too much damn fun :).

Download steam on your new computer and you will have all your games. Download then again. If they have steam clooud saving you will also download you save datas. If not, most games have a save directory and you can probably copy your save data.

For trove all your account information is on trion servers so you don't have to worry about losing progress.

Most of the Trove info is saved online. Your settings are likely stored locally (video options, controls etc) but they're very easy to just re-do on your new PC and aren't really worth copying over. All of your characters, items, basically your entire "account" will be stored online.

As the person above said, you can simply redownload them on the new PC. However, copy/pasting the entire Steam folder generally works for moving games over. You just select that as the location for your games, and steam usually detects them. Sometimes you have to try to install the game (To the same file location) and then steam realizes all the files are already there.

As for save files.. Most online games you won't have to do anything about. TF2, Heroes & Generals and Dirty Bomb are all saved online. I imagine Robocraft is too, but I'm not 100% sure about that one.

Clicker Heroes does have a local save, I'm not sure if it's using the steam cloud, however if you go ingame, click the options (the little wrench), and then click "Save", it copies the save data to your clipboard. Just save that into a .txt and on your new PC you can "Import" it through the same option menu, and your save file will be loaded, and then you'll be able to save it to your PC nice and easily.

I have no idea what Destination Sol is, so you'll have to find that answer on your own.

Edit: Just checked, Clicker Heroes does use the cloud, so just starting the game on your new PC should give you the save file again, automatically.

I just backed my Steam folder up to an external hard drive and copied it to my shiny new PC. It worked fine, just like it has every other time I've done it.

Thanks for all the help guys. I knew it was prolly an easy answer, most of which I was able to guess before hand, I've just never had steam before so I just wanted to know if there was any like hidden things or W.E that people in the hard-core community would know.

To answer you Signild, Destination Sol is a Beta game thats sort of like an Open-Platform/RPG of the Arcade classic Asteriod Blaster. Its Beta and open Source so you can change every bit of the game from the coding of the ships to the bit-maps used in every part of the game. Very easy concepts to grasp even for those who can barely work paint.
