The complete save of a SCUM server lives in a single SQLite database called SCUM.db. It contains the world, all bases, vehicles, characters and their progress.
Files of the savegame
A save consists of three files that always belong together:
| File | Content |
|---|---|
SCUM.db |
The actual database with the world, bases, vehicles and characters |
SCUM.db-wal |
Write-ahead log of the database |
SCUM.db-shm |
Shared memory file of the write-ahead log |
