Understanding the Save Structure

Enshrouded utilizes a complex database-like structure for world saves rather than a single flat file. This architecture allows the game to track persistent voxel changes across the entire map, from deep excavations to massive structures.

​
1. Locating the Data

All world data is stored within the /savegame/ directory. Inside, you will typically find two files:
  • World ID (Hex): A large file (e.g., 3ad85...) containing the voxel data and terrain changes.
  • Metadata Info: A small file (e.g., 3ad85..._info) containing world state information.

​
2. Creating a Backup

  1. Crucial: Stop your server via the FREAKHOSTING panel to prevent database corruption during the copy process.
  2. Navigate to the Files tab.
  3. Select the /savegame/ folder and use the Archive (Zip) function or download it directly via SFTP to your local machine.

​
3. Restoring or Transferring a Save

  1. Stop the server.
  2. Proceed to the /savegame/ folder on the server.
  3. Wipe any existing files in this folder to ensure a clean restoration.
  4. Upload your backup files into the empty directory.
  5. Restart the server.
