How To Upload A Save To Your Colony Survival Server

Here is how to upload an existing save from your local PC to your Colony Survival server.

If you get stuck at any time, Game Host Bros offers free save transfers. Just reach out to a bro on Discord.

Finding Your Save

Save folders live inside the game's own install folder, not in your Documents or AppData.

  1. Open your Steam Library, right-click Colony Survival, and select Manage → Browse Local Files, then open the gamedata\savegames folder. Alternatively, navigate directly to:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Colony Survival\gamedata\savegames
    
  2. Copy the folder for the world you want to upload, for example ghbworld.

  2. In the sidebar, go to Files and navigate to gamedata/savegames.
  3. Upload your save folder there.
  4. In the sidebar, go to Settings.
  5. Under Advanced, set World Name to exactly match your uploaded folder's name.
  6. Click Save & Restart to apply your changes.
