Survivor Transfer
This may be a weird question but I just finished the island and am going to continue the story onto Scorched Earth. My question is are you supposed to transfer your survivor to the next world or create another one? To me it almost seems like cheating but are you supposed to? BTW, I play single-player.

also want to know how to do this...., havent played it was in early access around launch, prior to all the dlcs and such, had a lv 50+ char on one of the worlds (just redownloaded the game and trying to figure out which)...... wondering how you transfer said char to the new worlds and such, or if id be better off starting over...

You absolutely can transfer your character/dinos if you dont want to go through all the breeding process again to do boss fights.....

But personaly.... when i first went to SE... it was butt naked desert Bob.... and it was a ton of fun learning to survive all over again.
When you go to an Obelisk (Red, Green, or Blue) you can upload your survivor/dinos and if in single player just load up a different map and when spawning in just download your old character.

Doing this does make it easier but maps like Scorched Earth, Aberration (this one especially), and Extinction are a new level of punishment when it comes to survival. Ultimately it's up to you and I've used the same SP character across all current maps but it's fully possible to do each and every map starting out as a fresh level 1.

*BACKUP your local save folder BEFORE you upload.
Are you single player or on multiplayer?

If multiplayer you can have more than one of yourself spread all over all the servers. I suggest making an alt of yourself and taking a look around the new map naked no pets first. If you do not like the map you have lost nothing. If you are a male character make your alt self a male. If fem make yourself fem. Because on multiplayer you can write over your own lower level self with you established higher level self but only if you were the same sex character.

Better than that you should investigate all maps in single player first for at least a few hours. Warning do not dive in with your main character from an easy TheIsland Map or easy Ragnarok map right into the harder dlc's. Unless you are into pain.

In multiplayer: To actually transfer you go up to an obolisk and click "Transfer Player Character" tab. This will open up a list of servers. It will not transfer you until you have picked a server.

I was under the impression that you could transfer your character the same way you can transfer between servers on a cluster - You can upload your character before you've ascended, but you can't take any items with you - but, after you ascend, you can take items and dinos with you. Is this true? I hope so! I don't want to have to make a new tek replicator!
