FT3 on Mac - file location?

Hi all,

I'm relatively new to Fractal Terrains and enjoy it very much! It's a lovely program and I easily get stuck for hours at a time designing planets for my RPG : )

But I've ran into some trouble lately. The first few maps I saved in the default FT3/Crossover folder and now that I need to do some changes, I just can't find them. Looking through the forum I found the rather convoluted paths for CC/Crossover, but I can't seem to find anything in the corresponding quarters. Is the path different for FT3 or have I misplaced my files?

    Tai Clarence , the default directory for me is but the FT3 program will open up with the last directory you accessed , try using OSX spotlight to find your files
    here is my path to my FT3 directory
    /Users/"Home"/Library/Application Support/CrossOver/Bottles/CC3/drive_c/Program Files/ProFantasy/FT3

    Hmm, yes I can find the program but no sign of my files. Isn't there a default location FT3 uses for created worlds when first installed?

    And I can't use spotlight search as I have no idea what the files are called : ( I even have a time capsule backup, but I'm not sure if that will help me either.

    There probably is a default location within the ft3 install but I can't help you on that as I save all my files to one location which all the pro fantasy programs remember when you save them , I know cc3 and cc3+ remember the last 4 files that were created but not sure about ft3 , perhaps you could create a new file and get spotlight to search for the extension of the ft3 saved file. Spotlight is good as OS X continually indexes all files across all drives that are currently connected to your Mac , sorry I can't be of more help

    Thanks, I appreciate your help. I've been poking around a bit more and it seems something strange happened when my old HDD crashed in November. I believe that's the reason I can't find the files. Well, I just did one of the lost maps again from scratch and it turned out much better : ) It seems like the way forward now. Attaching the result.

    Oh, that's very nice looking, Clarence. Has an antique feeling to it.

    Thank you both! There's some heavy photoshopping to match the feel I'm going for in my new RPG called Odd Soot. It's a sci-fi game set in the 1930s (not the pulpy type), and I try to fit illustrations and maps to that concept. It's good fun to make exoplanet maps!
