Identifying Your Data Repositories

Knowing the precise technical path of your Enshrouded save data is a fundamental requirement for professional server administration. This knowledge is essential for performing localized manual backups, migrating your community to a new hosting node, or investigating database discrepancies following a major game engine update. The Enshrouded architecture uses a distinct directory structure to separate binary world data from global server metadata.

Technical File Directories

On a FREAKHOSTING dedicated instance, your persistent data is architected within the following primary paths.
  • Primary World Binary: /savegame/
  • Global Metadata & Engine Config: Root directory (/)

​
Identifying the World Container

Within the savegame directory, you will observe a folder (or a pair of files) using a long hexadecimal string as its identifier (e.g., 3ad85...). This container houses the specialized binary blobs that represent your community’s persistent voxel modifications, terraforming history, and every player-placed structure within Embervale.

​
Technical Data Segregation

Unlike many survival simulations, Enshrouded uses a decentralized character model. A player’s levels, skills, and localized inventory are primarily stored within their own Steam Cloud profile. If you initialize a World Wipe, participants will typically retain their character progression when connecting to your new world instance.
The .info file situated in your save directory contains the technical world state, including the global “Flame Level” and unlocked fast-travel coordinates. When performing a manual backup, you must ensure this metadata remains synchronized with the primary world binary to prevent initialization errors.
