How to Upload a World to Your Abiotic Factor Server

Looking to transfer your single-player progress in Abiotic Factor to a dedicated server? You're in luck! Abiotic Factor uses a world-based save system, much like other survival games, making it simple to upload your local save files and continue your adventure seamlessly on a server.


Locate Your Local World Save

  1. Press Windows + R to open the Run menu.

  2. Enter the following path and press OK: %LocalAppData%\\AbioticFactor\\Saved\\SaveGames run abfactor directory for client side

  3. Open the folder labeled with your SteamID64.

  2. Navigate to your Abiotic Factor server.

  3. Stop the server before making changes.

  4. Upload the World Files

  5. Go to the Server Files tab on the left-hand side of the panel.

  6. Navigate to the directory: /home/container/AbioticFactor/Saved/SaveGames/Server/Worlds/Cascade

    Note: If this folder doesn't exist yet, start and stop the server once to auto-generate the correct directory structure.
