macOS save game location

#1 Post by def-mornahan »

I have been rooting around for the answer to this, but I can't find it. Where are the saved games located on macOS? Are they interchangeable with Linux games or not?

The options window directories tab should tell you where saves are located... eg. on Windows:

Ah. For reference, my defaults are
Resource Files
/Applications/FreeOrion.app/Contents/Resources/default
Save Files
/Users/paulus/Library/Application Support/FreeOrion/save
Server Save Files
/Users/paulus/Library/Application Support/FreeOrion/save

Depends on the selected save game format. If it is set to the default XML (not binary), then yes, they should be.
