Enshrouded: Save Transfer & Editing
Many players start in Co-op (Host & Play) and later want to migrate to a 24/7 dedicated server without losing their magnificent base. Here is how to move your world.
1. Local Location
Steam Cloud saves are usually found at: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\[SteamID]\1203620\remote\
2. Server Location
Dedicated servers usually store saves at: /savegame/ or ./savegame/ relative to the executable.
3. The Rename Trick
You cannot just drag and drop. The server expects a specialized filename (often `3ad85...`). You must match this ID.
How to Transfer Local -> Dedicated
- **Start the Dedicated Server** once to generate a fresh world. Stop it.
- Locate the server save folder. Note the filename (e.g., `3ad85aea`).
- Locate your **Local Save**. It will also be random hex characters.
- **Rename your local save** to MATCH the server's filename exactly.
- Upload your renamed file to the server, overwriting the existing one.
- Start the server.
Unlock All POIs (Save Editing)
"My save got corrupted, how do I get back to the endgame?"
- There are third-party tools online (search Github for "Enshrouded Save Editor") that can modify the Quest flags.
- Warning: These tools modify the JSON structure of the save. Always BACKUP `3ad85...` before attempting an edit.
Backup Strategy
Enshrouded creates automatic backups ending in `.backup`.
To restore:
- Stop Server.
- Delete the main save file.
- Rename `3ad85..._backup` to `3ad85...` (remove the _backup extension).
- Restart.
