Where are Enshrouded save files located?

On a dedicated server, saves are in the /savegame folder. On a local PC, navigate to your Steam library, right-click Enshrouded, select Manage then Browse Local Files, and go to userdata/{SteamID}/1203620/Remote.

How do I transfer an Enshrouded save to a dedicated server?

Copy the 3ad85aea file from your local save location, stop your dedicated server, upload the file to the /savegame folder on the server, and start the server again.

What file do I need to transfer for an Enshrouded save?

You only need one file called 3ad85aea with no file extension. This single file contains your entire world save data, making Enshrouded transfers straightforward compared to other survival games.

What if my Enshrouded world does not load after transfer?

Verify the file name is exactly 3ad85aea with no extension, ensure the server was fully stopped before replacing files, and check that the file size matches your original save.
