How to Add a Savegame to Your Windrose Server ​

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

Find the local savegame ​

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

    %LOCALAPPDATA%\R5\Saved\SaveProfiles
    %LOCALAPPDATA%\R5\Saved\SaveProfiles

  2. Navigate to the world folder
    Open your SteamID folder and navigate to:

    RocksDB\<GameVersion>\Worlds\
    RocksDB\<GameVersion>\Worlds\

  3. Identify the world folder
    Inside you will find a folder named with an alphanumeric string – the <WorldID>. This corresponds to the island ID of your world.

Upload and apply the savegame ​

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

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

  3. Upload world folder
    Upload the entire <WorldID> folder to the following directory:

    /R5/Saved/SaveProfiles/Default/RocksDB/<GameVersion>/Worlds/
    /R5/Saved/SaveProfiles/Default/RocksDB/<GameVersion>/Worlds/

    The placeholder <GameVersion> must match the server's version folder name.

  4. Set island ID
    For the server to load the uploaded world, set the island ID to the name of the <WorldID> folder.

  5. Start the server
    Start your server.

Warning

Make sure the <GameVersion> of your savegame matches the server version. Saves from older versions may be incompatible.

Tip

Create a backup of your existing server savegame before uploading, in case you want to switch back later.
