Can the game be installed to run in a portable manner?

I have a PC and two laptops both capable of running games, which I have a portable drive for sharing games and other files between them. Is there any way I could potentially install the game to run properly on the portable drive so I don't have to fumble with installing Vintage Story and transferring save files and such between the installations?

yes? haven't tried to use my folder on another pc, but thanks to streetwind i was able to install several version alongside each other with everything the game normally puts on the systemdrive in the version folder, hence it should work to play on a different pc...

you might want to look into the following topics:

It works on Windows (https://cdn.vintagestory.at/gamefiles/stable/vs_archive_1.15.9.tar.gz)

And with the "--dataPath" it should work.

Alternatively you can always run your local server and connect to it locally (IP 127.0.0.1).
https://cdn.vintagestory.at/gamefiles/stable/vs_server_1.15.9.tar.gz
- extract
- and update config files

server.sh

USERNAME='your-user-name'
VSPATH='...path-to-server-dir.../vs_server_1.15.9/'
DATAPATH='...path-to-server-Data-dir.../vs_server_1.15.9/Data/' 


Data/serverconfig.json - if you copy your existing World Data

    "Mods",
    "...path-to-mods-dir.../vs_server_1.15.9/Data/Mods"
  ],

"SaveFileLocation": "...path-to-saves-db.../vs_server_1.15.9/Data/Saves/default.vcdbs",

Thank you as well! This is actually useful too, since I'm planning on making a small server for my friends.
