Take the tour ×  FTL shares many similarities with roguelikes,
especially in that you can't save and load your game easily.
However, you can save and quit.  Sometimes I get into a really
good position and then die due to some random bad luck.
Occasionally I'd like to experience an event multiple times to
see what the outcome is. It would be nice if I could somehow
save state and restore later if I choose.  Is it possible to
back up this save file and restore it later? Where is it stored?
Is there anything in particular I would have to do to the file
in order for it to be recognized by the game?  share|improve
this question You can backup your save, but no matter how you
wash afterwards, you'll never feel clean! –  Sterno Sep 15 '12
at 18:39 The problem with beginning to save scum is knowing when
to stop. It starts with restoring to avoid bad luck, but back
luck is part of the game, so the save scumming quickly spreads
to other parts of the game. –  SaintWacko Sep 15 '12 at 19:46
