I have created a couple of systems that I'd like to post about in the forums and distribute them to other people. Does anyone know where can I find them or if they are even stored locally?
In this directory you might find multiple .localstorage files: C:\Users\ YOUR_WINDOWS_USERNAME \AppData\Local\UberEntertainment\Planetary Annihilation\ localstore\Local Storage\ Each of these files it's SQLite database which contain one table with multiple columns and only one row. There is column "systems" which contain hex-encoded JSON array with saved systems. If this too advanced to you just wait before somebody else make mod to import/export systems. I want work on it, but I quite overloaded at moment.
I ca only get as far as C:\Users\ YOUR_WINDOWS_USERNAME \AppData\Local\ everything else is missing (no UberEntertainment folder). I have "see hidden files" turned on.
Are you sure you open directory of same user you started game with? Do you use Windows 7 or 8? (i'm not checked it on 8)
If in doubt, use %LOCALAPPDATA%, if you enter this in explorers location bar, it'll take you to the local app data folder of the currently logged-in user (%APPDATA% for the roaming app data folder). This works across all Windows versions even if the locations of the data folders change. These variables also work from the shell, you can e.g. open a new explorer window by typing "explorer %APPDATA%; this can come in handy when using AutoHotKey or a similar program, as you can define shortcuts to directly open explorer windows in specific system locations.
I sure you can find where PA put logs (and Coherent SQLite always near) using Process Monitor: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896645.aspx Just check what files/directories PA.exe using and one of them will be one you need.
Now it still is ther but there's no way for me to delete old systems as they are no longer saved under individual files but in a group of persistant four. i don't know wich one is just the systems and i can't edit them.
When? Neutrino mentioned they want implement easy way to share systems: https://forums.uberent.com/threads/build-status.53412/ But it's never was in-game yet. Since save feature present it's still store systems in Coherent SQLite DB.
