Post by DjmTurner »

Hi, so I have just bought new laptop and need to transfer my game over, is this possible? I downloaded the game through the site and not with steam.

You can just install it normally on the new machine and copy over the appdata directory.

It's an OS directory storing user dependent application files: https://wiki.factorio.com/Application_directory.
It will obviously not exist if you run the portable .zip version.
