How to Download the Savegame of Your Solace Crafting Server

You can download your server's world to your PC at any time – for example as an additional backup, for archiving or to transfer it to another server.

Caution

Stop your server before downloading the files. While the server is running it saves regularly – otherwise you would download an incomplete or corrupted save.

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

2. Connect via SFTP
   Connect to your server via SFTP.

3. Open the directory
   Navigate to the following directory:

   /.config/unity3d/Big Kitty Games/Solace Crafting/Worlds/

   Note

   The folder .config starts with a dot and is therefore hidden. Enable the display of hidden files in your SFTP client if you cannot see it.

4. Download the world folder
   Download the complete folder of your world including all its files to your PC. If several worlds are stored in the directory, download all folders when in doubt.

5. Start the server
   Start your server again.

Find the right world

The world your server currently loads is defined in the file servercfg.dat under the value worldSaveToUse. The name entered there matches the folder name inside the Worlds directory. Without any changes this is the folder MultiplayerWorld.

Back up the configuration as well

If you also want to save your server settings, download the following file in addition:

/.config/unity3d/Big Kitty Games/Solace Crafting/servercfg.dat

Continue playing the world locally

If you want to continue playing the downloaded world in single player on your PC, place the world folder into the following directory:

%USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\Big Kitty Games\Solace Crafting\Worlds

Restoring the savegame

If you want to transfer the save back to a server later, follow the guide Add savegame.

Regular backups

For automatic or regular backups you can also use the backup function: Create backup.
