Last updated
Machine for Pigs nests under Documents Amnesia in its own Pig tree. Per-user folders carry editable saves with main and user settings beside them. Cloud mirrors per account minus graphics.
Text-editable saves invite fixes like fog toggles with standard backup caution. Sibling titles branch neighboring folders under the same root. Copy whole trees per title without mixing them.
