How to Add a Savegame to Your Sons Of The Forest Server

You can transfer a local save to your server to continue playing with an existing world.

Find the local savegame

Open savegame folder
Press Windows Key + R, enter the following path and confirm with Enter:
```
%userprofile%\AppData\LocalLow\Endnight\SonsOfTheForest\Saves
```
Choose the right subfolder
Open the folder named after your SteamID64 and inside it the folder Multiplayer. It contains all worlds in which you were the host yourself.

Note
MultiplayerClient contains worlds in which you were only a guest, Singleplayer holds your single player worlds. For a dedicated server you need a save from Multiplayer.
Identify the save
Each save is a separate folder named with a random number (e.g. 1833122971). It contains several files – among them various .json files and a SaveData.zip – that all belong together.

Stop the server
Stop your server via the dashboard.
Connect via SFTP
Connect to your server via SFTP.
Rename the folder
Rename the save folder to a ten-digit number with leading zeros. This number will be your save slot.
Tip
Example
0000000002
Upload the save
Upload the complete folder including all files it contains to the following directory:
```
/serverconfig/Saves/DedicatedServer/Multiplayer/
```
Set the save slot
Open the file /serverconfig/dedicatedserver.cfg and adjust the following values:
```
"SaveSlot": 2,
"SaveMode": "Continue",
```
The number in SaveSlot must match the folder name without the leading zeros (0000000002 therefore corresponds to 2).

Tip
Check the file with a JSON formatter like JSONLint after editing – a single missing or extra comma is enough to make the configuration unreadable for the server.
Start the server
Save the file and start your server.
