# How to Upload a World to Your Abiotic Factor Server

Learn how to upload a local 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](https://cms-a.nodecraft.com/f/133932/418x225/258775fbcd/run_directory_abfactor.png/m/)
3. Open the folder labeled with your **SteamID64**.

4. Navigate to the Worlds subfolder.
5. Create a `.zip` of the desired **World** folder.

### Upload to the Server Using the Control Panel

1. Log in to your **Nodecraft Game Server Panel**.
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: `/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.**

7. Select **Upload** and upload the `.zip` of your world.
8. **Unzip** the folder to the same directory.
