Transferring save data

The save data has a new location, so if you're trying to transfer over old data here's how. The format of data has not changed so the process should be seamless.

Firstly, open the game - this will create the new save file location.

Windows - You must first enable viewing hidden files, or you will not be able to see AppData
Navigate to local disc -> Users -> [your username] -> AppData -> Local

There should be a folder called Other_Minds_new. Copy all the files in that folder. Now go back to Local, find a folder called Other_Minds_2_3 and paste the files there. Overwrite the files if prompted.

Linux - Enable viewing hidden files (ctrl+H). Navigate to your home folder -> .config

There should be a folder called Other_Minds_new. Copy all the files from that folder. Navigate back to .config, find a folder called Other_Minds_2_3 and paste the files in there. Overwrite the files if prompted
