How to Add a Savegame to Your Voyagers of Nera Server

Voyagers of Nera has no world name in the configuration. Which world is loaded is decided solely by the folder placed inside PersistedData. A savegame is always a complete folder named after the server ID – not a single file.

Find your local savegame

You only need this section if you want to transfer a savegame from your own PC. If the savegame comes from another server, you already have the folder from Download Savegame.

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

   %localappdata%\BoatGame\Saved\PersistedData\nera
   

2. Choose the right folder
   Inside you find one folder per world, each named after its server ID. Choose the folder of the savegame 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:

   /BoatGame/Saved/PersistedData/
   

4. Remove the current savegame
   Delete the existing folder with the random string in its name. That is the world your server generated itself on the first start.

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

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