Whether you started your journey solo or hosted a co-op session on your own computer, moving your Enshrouded world to a dedicated server is a fantastic idea. It allows your friends to log in, build, and explore even when you are offline!
Transferring your save requires a very specific renaming process, but do not worry. Let us walk through it step-by-step so your hard-earned base transfers perfectly.
Important Warning: Always make sure your server is completely stopped on your MintServers panel before transferring save files to prevent any data corruption!
Step 1: Locate Your Local Save Files
First, we need to grab the world files from your personal computer. Enshrouded saves your world in one of two places depending on if you use Steam Cloud saves or local saves.
If you use Steam Cloud Saves, open your File Explorer and navigate to:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\[YourSteamID]\1203620\remote\
If you use Local Saves, navigate to:
C:\Users\[YourUsername]\Saved Games\Enshrouded\
Keep this folder open, as you will need the files inside very shortly!
Step 2: Generate Server Save Files
Dedicated servers use a very specific naming format for their saves. Before we upload your world, we need to let the server generate a dummy world so we know exactly what to name your files.
- Log into your MintServers panel and navigate to the Console tab.
- Click Start and wait about two minutes for the server to fully boot up and create a new world.
- Click Stop and wait for the server to completely shut down.
- Navigate to the Files tab on the left-hand sidebar.
- Open the
savegamefolder. - Take note of the exact names of the files inside this folder. They usually look like a random string of characters, such as
3ad85aeaand3ad85aea-index.
Step 3: Rename Your Local Files
To ensure compatibility, you must rename your personal save files to perfectly match the random string generated by your server.
- Go back to the folder on your computer that you opened in Step 1
