Topic Overview
Securing your game progress is the best way to protect your lumber empire from accidental loss. When your progress is safely saved to a cloud account, you can easily restore your data or even transfer your sawmill to a new device, provided both devices use the same operating system (Android to Android or iOS to iOS).
How to Save
Please follow these steps carefully to link your game to a secure cloud account:
Check System Apps: Make sure you have the Google Play Games (Android) or Game Center (iOS) app installed on your device. If it is missing, download it from your respective app store.
Open Profile: Launch Lumber Inc and tap your player avatar located in the top-left corner of the screen.
Access Settings: Tap on the gear icon to open the game Settings.
Initiate Save: Tap the "Save progress" button.
Link Account: Connect your game to your official Google or Apple account.
Verify Synchronization: Wait a moment until the exact time of the last synchronization appears directly underneath the Connected button. The game automatically backs up your data every few minutes.
Confirm and Close: Force quit the game completely to finalize the active session.
Important Warnings
⚠️ Properly Close Your Game Sessions: > We strongly recommend that you do not leave the game minimized or running in the background tray. Always force quit the game at the end of each play session! If the app is left running in the background, your session may terminate incorrectly, which can lead to synchronization errors and a potential loss of your recent progress.
