I was playing Rimworld while visiting my parents over the holidays on their mac but I couldn't find the save game files to bring home with me.
Unfortunately, I am home now and cannot reproduce any of these problems on my Windows computer (even with the same mods installed) and my parents aren't computer-literate enough for me to get them to hunt for the files. As for my colony, I can only presume that there has been a catastrophic failure of the underground geothermal generator and they have all been boiled alive in their sleep without having a chance to call for help

- The file ReadMe_SaveFiles.txt in the root of the package says they should be in a folder in Users/[username]/Library/Caches/... but couldn't find a rimworld-related folder there.
- Google led me to a post on reddit saying that it was a unity bug and that they should be in .../Library/Application Support/... There was a folder there (named something like unity.ludeon.rimworld) but it was empty.
- The "Open save data folder" button in the settings screen did nothing (note: I had a bunch of mods installed at the time, so ignore this point if no one can reproduce).
