If you have a world in Voyagers of Nera that you’d like to play on a dedicated server, this guide will walk you through locating your save file on your computer and uploading it to your server.

Locate Your Server on Your PC

  1. Find the Server ID of your save file

    • Launch Voyagers of Nera from Steam.

    • Select the save file you want to transfer.

    • Note or screenshot the Server ID shown on the right side.

  2. Locate the save folder

    • on your local computer, it is in this file directory: %localappdata%\BoatGame\Saved\PersistedData\nera

    • Inside, you’ll find folders named after their Server IDs. Select the one matching your save.

  3. Create a .zip of your save

  • Compress the entire Server ID folder into a .zip file.

  • Store it somewhere easy to access for uploading.

    **Note: The AppData folder is hidden by default in Windows. To access it:**

  • Enable Show hidden files, folders, and drives in File Explorer settings, or

  • Press Windows + R, paste the following, and hit Enter: %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\BoatGame\Saved\PersistedData\nera

Upload Your Save to the Server

  1. Locate your Nodecraft Server Panel.

  2. Open the Server Files tab.

  3. Navigate toBoatGame/Saved/PersistedData/

  4. Delete the existing random ID folder (the default server save).

  5. Upload and unzip the .zip file you created earlier into this directory.

  6. Open your uploaded save folder.

    • Find the folder called CustomConfig .

    • Move (or copy) it up one level so it sits next to the save folder.

    • That directory would be: BoatGame/Saved .

  7. Start the server.

Troubleshooting

If your world doesn’t load correctly after uploading, here are some common issues and fixes:

  • The server loads a brand-new world instead of your save

    • Double-check that you uploaded the correct Server ID folder.

    • Make sure you deleted the old random ID folder before uploading your own.

    • Confirm the folder structure matches this format: BoatGame/Saved/PersistedData/YourServerIDand not nested inside another folder (e.g., PersistedData/YourServerID/YourServerID

  • CustomConfig isn’t working

    • Ensure the CustomConfig folder was moved up one level into: BoatGame/Saved/CustomConfig

    • It should sit next to the save folder, not inside it.

  • Still can’t find your save on the server

    • Verify that the .zip file you uploaded contained the entire Server ID folder, not just the contents.

    • If the upload was interrupted or incomplete, try re-zipping and re-uploading the save.

    • You can also upload via FTP, which can help with prevent failed uploads and file corruption. See our Basic FTP Tutorial.

  • Can’t locate the save folder on your PC

    • Remember, the AppData folder is hidden by default. Use Windows + R and paste: %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\BoatGame\Saved\PersistedData\nera to access it directly.

  • If you made these changes while the server was online, restart the server. Keep in mind all changes made to the server must be while the server is offline.
