Backing up game? Also, starting over, again.

[Baron_Falcon]

So this is basically a two part post. Backing up game, and the ambivalence of starting over.

Had a bad chunk or something crashing game as soon as I spawned in. Looked in files and the only backups I had were from March? Updated pack and game is gone anyway but I wouldn't mind knowing how to manually backup a game in case I was really attached to it. I don't mind starting over for the most part, I find that I enjoy the early game and making or discovering new strategies and base setups. Last one was actually a lot of fun and I had just made it to The End, but I was also starting get that "ok what's my motivation?" thing going in the back of my mind.

For backing up manually:

Go to your saves folder, and copy the world folder to another folder (backups?) and add a date stamp to the name so you know what one is most recent?

When it comes to starting over... when I do that, I try like hell to force myself to pick one mod to go through that I normally don't before I settle into my "usual routine". I find it makes it more enjoyable when you have to start from scratch again, and you may decide/discover a new "usual routine".

Ya, I think I'm going to make my early primary focus Botania. I really only do it for the sash and magnet, sometimes the horn, but having those two baubles really makes a difference in game play. Of course the sash needing manna, and the dayblooms dying makes it more challenging but I dont find it irritating either, which is unusual for me lol.

While I don't agree with the nerf, it's not too bad. Use the daybloom/nightshade combo long enough to make an endoflame, then go from there

Aroma backup does well, and forge essentials does too.

So much this. AromaBackup has saved me at least half a dozen times.
