Can I start a game on one PC and continue on another?
In A Dark Room is it possible to start the game on one PC/browser and then continue it on another? Are there perhaps files I can copy from one machine to another to continue elsewhere?
Edit I'm using Firefox as my browser
As of October 2013, A Dark Room officially supports importing and exporting saved games. There is a save
link in the bottom right corner that will let you copy or paste your current game state as a base64-encoded string:
No more need to mess with the console! Just copy and paste away!
A Dark Room uses localStorage
for saving, so these steps will work in all browsers:
- Open the JavaScript console. If you don't know how, see this post on Webmasters.
-
To save, type
JSON.stringify(localStorage);
in the console and copy the output. (It will be VERY long. Important: Remember not to copy the quotation marks at the beginning and end!) This is now your save string.
-
To load a saved game, first type
var storage =
and then paste your save string. Then, paste this into the console:
for (var x in storage) { localStorage.setItem(x, storage[x]); }
