![]() I assume you cannot keep both apps open at the same time, though. , install Don't Starve, enter the key, and update it.įollow all the same Terminal instructions you did on (These are folders nested inside your Documents folder)įolder. In the name without resorting to special characters like %, etc. I didn't call it Don't Starve because I'm not sure if terminal commands can handle the Here is the MacOSX method for the Unix challenged (like myself): OK, I've used the symbolic link method to make a Dropbox location for my saved games to sync between my two computers. If they are critical this resolution may not work for that particular game. If you run into this, depending on which files it is for which game, you may end up having to deal with some oddities (like my achievements would constantly reset). When I did this with Minecraft to copy my SSP games around, it can have some weird side effects because of how constantly or inconsistently it would touch certain files. This is probably a good idea on the Mac as well, just in case.Ī word of caution. I just suggest you make a backup of your data while setting this up so that you can restore the proper data. Note that setting this up can be a little tricky on windows with confirmations of opening/replacing. For Windows, you can use this plugin (which is what I use) to do the same thing. That is the entire point of the symbolic link.įor Mac, I relink you to the article above. This will then allow dropbox to automatically sync and update and the game will go to where it normally does for the data files not knowing they are in another location. As per comment, you will want to create a symbolic link where Don't Starve is saving the games so that it is actually putting them into a sub folder in your dropbox. But you have to get a little sneaky with it as most of the games are not going to do this for you. What you want to have happen is possible and is something I do with Terraria and other games of that ilk. In short, you will need to keep copying the newest save file. You will need to backup that file as well, as it will be deleted also if you die and you will be left with no save file. ![]() Just change the name of your copied file by deleting the (copy) part and your game will continue from that point. Also, if you die your original file will be deleted as mentioned above. I recommend doing that when you are finished playing or if you are worried that your character will die. Simple.Īlthough, you may need to copy the original file again since it auto-saves. For example: savegame1(copy).sav, the game will not see that file and will not delete it. Once you find it you can copy it and change the name of the copied file to something the game won't recognize. It's kind of comlicated to explain how to find it, but you can google it by typing "don't starve save game location" in the Search bar and look for one that gives you the best answer. There is a way to cheat "death." The save file is located in the Steam folder.
