Last updated
Colobot is programming game with folder state. Your missions live as files in the save directory at home. Programs and settings sit beside them.
Same folder means same robots anywhere Colobot runs. Exact file names are stable across Gold releases. Keep CBOT programs backed up per mission. For moves, copy the save directory whole. Partial copies miss custom levels that campaigns depend on. Screenshots of settings help when support asks for reproduction steps later. Check the in app storage readout when sizes look wrong on different releases.

Frequently asked questions
How do I move Colobot saves to a new computer?
Copy the Colobot save directory to the new machine over USB. Missions live per profile folders with autosaves attached. Match the Gold edition release first, since formats shift between versions.
Does Colobot sync online?
No. Colobot reads saves in place from its directory without uploading. The folder holds settings plus program files locally. Reinstalls reset nothing if the folder is kept. Treat the save directory itself as the backup.
