can i transport save files between the pc and the android versions?
as the title says, is there any built-in feature to transport saves or should i temper with the files?
note that i didn't buy the android version yet and i wanted to know before i buy it (probably gonna buy it anyway)

However I see little reason for this. While a run can be pretty long the game is more focused around learning and replaying it, and since that part is stored in your brain it should be perfectly transferable.

i thought that some stuff can be transferred from run to run like how you can start with the previous character name in a few cards, but i thought there was some more important stuff like i remember a tool that you can bury, i didn't bury it but i thought i could find it in the next run, but since it doesn't really matter i can buy the game comfortably :)

I believe when you make a new game it checks the previous savegame and sets some parameters in the json data of the new game. So the relevant previous run data is persisted in the current run save data.

so this is only relevant with the previous run but not any earlier runs?
