How to Add a Savegame to Your CryoFall Server

The complete world of a CryoFall server lives in the /Data/Saves/ folder. To use a different save you simply replace that folder – there is no world name to enter anywhere.

Upload the savegame

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

2. Create a backup
   Secure your current state before replacing it: Create Backup.

3. Connect via SFTP
   Connect to your server via SFTP.

4. Open the directory
   Go to the following directory:

   /Data/
   

5. Remove the old save
   Delete the existing Saves folder including its contents.

6. Upload the new save
   Upload your Saves folder with all of its contents into /Data/. The folder name has to be exactly Saves – your server runs on Linux and is case-sensitive.

7. Start the server
   Start your server. On startup it loads the existing save.

Manage multiple worlds with slots

CryoFall stores every world in a numbered slot. That lets you keep several worlds side by side and switch between them without moving any files.

1. Stop the server
   Stop your server via the dashboard.

2. Open the configuration
   Open the following file via SFTP:

   /Data/SettingsServer.xml
   

3. Change the slot
   Enter the slot number you want to use:

   <savegame_slot_id>0</savegame_slot_id>
   

4. Start the server
   Save the file and start your server. If a world already exists for that slot it gets loaded – otherwise the server generates a new world.

Reset the world

If you want to start over completely, just delete the save – your server automatically generates a new world on the next start.

1. Stop the server
   Stop your server via the dashboard.

2. Create a backup
   Secure the old world in case you need it later: Create Backup.

3. Delete the save
   Delete the following folder via SFTP:

   /Data/Saves/
   

4. Start the server
   Start your server. It generates a new world.
