Save files locations[]
Different game releases put save files in different locations. Locations also differ between operating systems.
You can transfer save files between releases by moving save files to one of the folders below (e.g. when you started playing in browser, then decided to download the "exe" version).
Save files themselves are named PFEgame0.sol, PFEgame1.sol, etc. PFEgame0.sol is the autosave slot.

Saving game to custom path[]
It may be more convenient to choose where to save the game when transfering or backing up save files. To do this, choose to save the game "into a file", using a button in the save dialog. You can then save the game anywhere.
The save file extension is .sav, and the file structure is a bit different than .sol files.
.sav files can be loaded later using the "from a file" button in the load dialog.
Upgrading the game[]
Certificate error
- Saves from 0.7 can be transferred to 0.8/1.0. No action is required, just load the old save file normally
- ["exe" release] if old version of the game is installed while you try to install a new version, you might get a certificate error. Uninstall the old version, then proceed to installing the new one
