How to Upload an Existing World to Your Satisfactory Server
This step-by-step guide will walk you through the process of uploading your save file to your dedicated Satisfactory game server.
Note: The steps provided are based on instructions from Coffee Stain Studios, and they serve as a temporary solution until the "Manage Saves" feature is fully developed.
Before starting, it's crucial to note that theĀ Session Name and the Save File Name are different.
Session Name: This is embedded inside the save file and cannot be changed without using a save editor.
Save File Name: This is the file that ends with .sav.
Locate the Save File on Your PC
Open Satisfactory and navigate to theĀ Load tab in the main menu.
Identify the desired save file by itsĀ Session Name. In the example below, theĀ Session Name is "Nodecraft Server Upload" and theĀ Save File is
Nodecraft World/Nodecraft World.sav.
If your PC is running Windows, locate theĀ save file in the following directory:
C:\Users\(UserName)\AppData\Local\FactoryGame\Saved\SaveGames\(Steam or Epic ID)
Upload the Save File to Your Satisfactory Server
Note: In order to complete the following steps, your Satisfactory server must be successfully started at least once in order for the proper folders to be generated.
Open the Nodecraft Pro Panel for your Satisfactory game server.
Navigate to Server Files.
Upload the save by dragging and dropping the file into the following directory:/config/Epic/FactoryGame/Saved/SaveGames/server
Note:Ā For large save files, it's recommended to use FTPĀ for uploading.
