How to Upload an Existing Abiotic Factor Save To Your Server

Want to move your single-player or local multiplayer world to your dedicated server? This guide walks you through finding your local save file and uploading it to your GhostCap server.

Finding Your Local Abiotic Factor Save File

1. Press Windows Key + R and enter this:

%LOCALAPPDATA%\AbioticFactor\Saved\SaveGames

2. Enter your Steam ID folder (For example: 76561198106341655) and open Worlds.
3. Each folder in here is a world save. Find the one you want to migrate and copy the entire folder.

Your save structure should look like this:

AppData/Local/AbioticFactor/Saved/SaveGames/
└── 76561198106341655/ (Your Steam ID)
    └── Worlds/
        └── YourWorldSave/
            ├── PlayerData/
            ├── WorldSave_Facility.sav
            ├── WorldSave_Facility_Labs.sav
            ├── WorldSave_Facility_Office1.sav
            └── WorldSave_MetaData.sav

Uploading Your Abiotic Factor Save to Your Server

1. Log in to the GhostCap Panel and Stop your Abiotic Factor server.
2. Connect to your server with SFTP.
3. Navigate to /AbioticFactor/Saved/SaveGames/Server/Worlds.
4. Delete the existing default world folder named Cascade.
5. Upload your local world save folder.

Your server structure should now look like this:

AbioticFactor/Saved/SaveGames/Server/Worlds/
└── YourWorldSave/ (Your uploaded world save folder)
    ├── PlayerData/
    ├── WorldSave_Facility.sav
    ├── WorldSave_Facility_Labs.sav
    ├── WorldSave_Facility_Office1.sav
    └── WorldSave_MetaData.sav

6. In the Game Panel sidebar, navigate to Startup Parameters.
7. Under Advanced, edit World Save Name to the name of your uploaded save folder.
8. Start your server.
