A question about subassemblies in a new game

[XB-70A]

Hello everyone,

 

First I apologize if this topic is in the wrong section as it isn't really a gameplay question and none either dedicated to the technical support...

I will update the game to 1.2.2 and will make a full save as usual, but I would like to know if their is a way to save my different subassemblies "folders" like it can be seen on that picture :

Every time I had make a new install (not an update) due to some crash or any other problems I just past the subassembly folder in the career folder. All the craft files are present but only under the common "Subassemblies" window and I have to re-create all the "Sub-subassemblies" folders after.

Is there a way to keep them?

I just checked, 1.2.2 still has this file when I start using category, so my above info is still valid.

Arrrrg nooooo... well, I will have to take screenshots of the subcategories and keep on doing it manually. Thanks for your answers, at least it permit to better understand how the program is working.

Oh just to be clear - I didn't mean it's not movable/copyable. I just mean it's not enough to move even everything in your save folder - it's stored somewhere else, separate from your save/subassembly. Copying SubassemblyCategories.cfg should work.

Big mistake from my part... again. So after a clean and new installation transfering the save folder and "SubassemblyCategories" will make all of these available?

At least from my understanding, right that's all you need. That file is the only place storing the category information, and I tested between different copies of KSP of the same version at the time that moving that file carries category information. I haven't tested across different versions, so there's a slight possibility that if the file format has changed, it might not work. But it's not quite likely given there's no functionality changes around this area recently.

Thank you for all these explanations, now everything is much more clear.
