I installed the game recently and am enjoying it quite a lot. However my current computer is running out of harddrive space and I would like to transfer the game to a new computer. I checked the forums and couldn't find any posts on how to do this. Is this possible? Would I just use the same game key on the new computer?

The game key is linked to your account. You just log in with your details and are good to go. Generally client settings, save files, installed mods, etc are found at %AppData%\VintagestoryData. Simply copy the folder over.

There's even a way to make a transferable instance.

make a shortcut and change it like this:

installdirectory\Vintagestory.exe --dataPath "installdirectory\data" --addModPath "installdirectory\Data\Mods"

now your data and mods folders are inside the installation directory and you can use the game on an external drive on any computer you connect the drive to. i keep an instance of every main version that way.
