Can I transfer my data from GOG to Steam?

[Wizfan]

Been playing terraria on GOG, but I have steam on my computer now. Is there a way I could transfer at least my characters and worlds to a steam account? Or if I buy terraria on steam will the data already be there since its on the same computer?

I think they'll be available from the start, but no guarantees.

GOG reads your Character & World Files from the same location as Steam. (Which is under ...Documents/MyGames/Terraria...) Playing it on Steam rather than GOG will give you the same Character & World Files you have now as long as it's on the same computer.

Steam does record Achievements separately from GOG however. As Steam saves it to their system on your Steam Account, and GOG saves it locally in an Achievements file in the place your character/world files are saved for the game.

Thanks, not to worried about anything other than the worlds and characters. Seems like mulitplayer is easier on Steam so I might get it to use for servers and whatnot

I don't think so, not directly. The achievements with GOG are only visible to you, whereas the Steam version of the achievements are kind of a perk for your Steam profile.

It may be the case, however, that if you load a world/player into Steam Terraria that has a lot of progress, many achievements will be awarded right away
