Is there a way to possibly update an already downloaded earlier version? I can't bear to let go of my clan, I'm very attached, I'm on moon sixty-one, and one of my favorite and most lore-heavy cats just got a mate. I really don't wanna see any of my cats go.
Yes! Go to the file itself on your computer and copy the save file, it should be labeled “saves”, then, download an updated version of Clangen, go to settings, and find the little button at the bottom left of the settings, something labeled code or whatever, then delete the current save file, and replace it with the new save file! There’s more information on how to do this on YouTube and stuff, but it worked for me, and this will only work if you delete the current save in the exact file you want to replace ur saves in. Hope this helped :D
If your game is version 0.8.0 or later then there is an auto-update feature already in place. It will simply say something along the lines of, "There is a new update available! Would you like to download it?" Just click yes and it will be downloaded and put in place.
I am assuming that your game is earlier than that version and since it is, then I'm just gonna reword theonethetwothefour's reply. Go to the settings, click the "Open Data Directory" button, open the "saves" folder, and copy your clan folders. Then, open the data directory in the new Clangen game, go to the saves, and paste the saves there again.
I am a bit confused on why you couldn't find a save folder. Can you list the folders you see? I have four folders, "~temp", "cache", "logs", and "saves". I haven't seen a Clangen game that old so it could be different. Hope this helps :)
