Frequently asked questions
How do I back up Aloft saves?
Copy the whole %USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\Astrolabe Interactive\Aloft folder with the game closed. Versioned data children hold characters and worlds separately. In-game backup tools supplement folder copies.
Why do Aloft folder names keep changing?
They bump suffixes across patches with older trees orphaned behind. Expect current data folders to outgrow archived ones. Quote the live suffix per install rather than hardcoding versions.
Characters versus worlds folders?
They split characters with personal homes from world saves in versioned trees. Timestamps plus backups mark each side. Cloud deletes never propagate, so repeat removals per device.
