If you want to transfer your singleplayer world to a dedicated server, you'll need to locate your Icarus save files on your PC and upload them. This guide covers where to find your Icarus save file location and how to upload it to your Icarus dedicated server.
If you get stuck at any time, Game Host Bros offers free save transfers. Just reach out to a bro on Discord.
