How to Add a Savegame to Your Abiotic Factor Server

In Abiotic Factor a savegame is always a complete world folder, not a single file. You upload that folder with all of its contents to your server and then make sure the server actually loads it.

Find your local savegame

1. Open the savegame folder
   Press Windows key + R, enter the following path and confirm with Enter:

   %LocalAppData%\AbioticFactor\Saved\SaveGames
   

2. Choose the right subfolder
   Open the folder whose name is a long sequence of numbers – that is your SteamID64. Inside it, switch to the Worlds folder.

3. Select the world folder
   Inside you find one folder per world. Choose the folder of the world you want to transfer – you need the complete folder including its contents.

Upload the savegame

1. Stop the server
   Stop your server via the dashboard. While the server is running it writes to the save files itself.

2. Connect via SFTP
   Connect to your server via SFTP.

3. Open the directory
   Change to the following directory:

   /AbioticFactor/Saved/SaveGames/Server/Worlds/
   

4. Note the existing world folder
   Check the name of the world folder your server currently uses. By default it is called Cascade.

5. Upload the world folder
   Upload your complete world folder with all of its files into this directory.

6. Match the folder name
   Rename the uploaded folder to exactly the name your server's world folder has (by default Cascade). Rename or delete the previous folder beforehand so there is no name collision.

7. Start the server
   Start your server. On startup it now loads your uploaded savegame.
