How to Add a Savegame to Your Valheim Server

Prerequisites

  • Access to the server folder (either via an SFTP connection or direct access to the server files)
    • You can find the SFTP access data in the overview of your game server.

Steps

  1. Open SFTP Client
    On the left you see your local files, on the right the files of your server.

  2. Start Server First
    This is necessary to create the required folder structure for savegames.

  3. Find Local Savegame
    Search for the .fwl and .db files in C:\Users\Username\AppData\LocalLow\IronGate\Valheim.

  4. Transfer Savegame Files
    Connect to your server via SFTP and navigate to the folder .config\unity3d\IronGate\Valheim\worlds_local. Drag your local savegame files into this folder or use the upload function.

  5. Change World Name
    Go to the basic settings of your server and change the world name from "world" to the name of your uploaded savegame files (without file extensions).

  6. Restart Server
    Restart the server and check that your world is loading correctly.

Now you can enjoy your Valheim world! With these steps you should be able to successfully transfer your Valheim world to your Valheim server
