Instructions followed, and I am happy to announce success! At least for the most part. The important part is that the games now draw their saves from the data folder in my external hard drive. Thank you, both of you, for helping me out. Currently my problem is that I have two different storage drives built in to my PC, where I only have one on the laptop. However, this is something that I am figuring out on my own, and am on the right track to success. Thank you again!

I gave it a go with some other experiments, including in this discussion here. Unfortunately, nothing really worked, with what I had. Changing the targeted application didn't help, considering that the game is drawing from a data folder, the location of that is what matters here. The problem is that the executable doesn't launch from the data folder. The game folder and its data folder are two different things, basically one stores assets and the other stores worlds. It's the worlds I need to relocate for the sake of convenience. It was a good suggestion, though. Thank you for putting it out there.

Hey all. I have a unique setup for my computers. I switch back and forth between them with an external hard drive which they share. If I'm at home, I connect the drive, there are all of my belongings. If I'm out and about, or I'm not able to use my computer, then I can plug the drive into my laptop. The issue is that, on both computers, my saves and backups are drawn from C:/Users/Appdata/Roaming/VintagestoryData. Both computers draw from their own data folders, automatically installed on my SSD, as opposed to the external drive. I've already installed the game itself on the drive, but there's nothing I can do about the data folder right now. Currently, my solution is to update my worlds from the other computer, by moving them from one computer's VintagestoryData folder to the other. What I want is for the data folder to be on the drive, so both computers can use the same data with little more effort than plugging in the drive (which has the rest of the game anyway) and launching the game. The question now is, how do I do that? I already visited other posts to try to discern a solution, and have been unsuccessful.
