Palworld: Uploading a Save Manually

If you have been playing in Co-op or Single-player and want to move your progress to a high-performance Dedicated Server, you must move the files manually via FTP.

Step-by-Step Migration

Step 1: Get Local Save

1. Press Windows Key + R, type %localappdata%\Pal\Saved\SaveGames\, and hit Enter.
2. Find the folder with the correct timestamp (your world). It will be named with a random Hex string (e.g., 2F4A...).
3. **Zip/Compress** this folder to ensure you don't miss hidden files during upload.

Step 2: Upload to Server

1. Stop your Supercraft Server.
2. Open **File Manager** or connect via FileZilla.
3. Navigate to /Pal/Saved/SaveGames/0/.
4. Upload and **Unzip/Extract** your folder here.
   You should now see two folders: the default server one (if any) and your new uploaded one.

Step 3: Activate the Save

1. Copy the **Folder Name** of the save you just uploaded (the Hex string).
2. Navigate to /Pal/Saved/Config/LinuxServer/.
3. Edit GameUserSettings.ini.
4. Find the line: DedicatedServerName=....
5. Replace the value with your folder name.
   Example: DedicatedServerName=2F4A9999...
6. Save and Restart.

Crucial Warning: The "Level 1" Bug

Because you are moving from Local Execution (where you are the Host) to a Dedicated Server (where you are a Client), the game will generate a NEW Player ID for you.

• Your world will load. Your base will be there.
• But you will be asked to **Create a New Character**.
• To fix this, you must run a python script to transfer your old 00000001.sav data to your new GUID. See our Restore Save & GUID Fix Guide.

Safe keeping. Host your Palworld server with Supercraft and use our automated importer tool to skin this manual process entirely.
