This guide will walk you through uploading an existing world save to your Windrose server.

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

Danger

Always create a backup of your save files before attempting to move or copy them.

Locating Your Existing Windrose Save

Windrose saves each world in a folder named with its WorldID (a long alphanumeric string). You will need this folder name later.

Press Windows Key + R and enter this:
%LOCALAPPDATA%\R5\Saved\SaveProfiles
2
Open the folder named with your Steam ID, then navigate to RocksDB\[GameVersion]\Worlds\.

Note down the WorldID folder name of the world you want to upload, you will need this later.
