How to Add a Savegame to Your Citadel Forged with Fire Server

In Citadel Forged with Fire a save is not a single file but a complete folder. It contains the world data as well as the data of all players – the character data is named after the SteamID64 of the respective player.

Find your local savegame

If you want to transfer a save from your PC, you can find it in the installation folder of the game – not in the AppData directory:

1. Open your Steam library
   Open Steam and switch to your Library.

2. Open the local files
   Right-click Citadel Forged with Fire, select Manage and then Browse local files.

3. Open the savegame folder
   In the window that opens, navigate to the following directory:

   Citadel\Saved\SaveGames
   

4. Copy the entire content
   You need the entire content of this folder. Individual files from it do not make a usable save.

Upload the savegame

1. Stop the server
   Stop your server via the dashboard. While the server is running it keeps saving automatically and would overwrite your uploaded files again.

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

3. Open the directory
   Navigate to the following directory:

   /Citadel/Saved/SaveGames/
   

4. Remove the old save
   Delete the existing content of the folder.

5. Upload the new save
   Upload the entire content of your savegame folder into this directory. Make sure to keep the folder structure unchanged.

6. Start the server
   Start your server. Your uploaded save is now loaded on startup.

Restore a save on your PC

If you want to use a save on your PC instead, the procedure is the same:

1. Close the game
   Close Citadel Forged with Fire completely.

2. Replace the files
   Copy the content of the save into the folder Citadel\Saved\SaveGames inside your game installation folder.

3. Start the game
   Restart the game – the save is now available to you.
