How To Upload Your Existing Windrose Server Save

This guide will walk you through uploading an existing world save to your Windrose server.

Locating Your Existing Windrose Save

Windrose saves each world in a folder named with its WorldID (a long alphanumeric string). You will need this folder name later.

1. Press Windows Key + R and enter this:

   %LOCALAPPDATA%\R5\Saved\SaveProfiles
   

2. Open the folder named with your Steam ID, then navigate to RocksDB\[GameVersion]\Worlds\.
3. Note down the WorldID folder name of the world you want to upload — you will need this later.

%LOCALAPPDATA%
└── R5
    └── Saved
        └── SaveProfiles
            └── [SteamID] (Example: 76561198106341655)
                └── RocksDB
                    └── [GameVersion]
                        └── Worlds
                            └── 04A4F36F41134855B3AD6FFA08FD11A1   ← Your WorldID

Uploading Your Save To Your Server

1. Log in to the GhostCap Panel and Stop your Windrose server.
2. Using SFTP, upload your WorldID folder to /R5/Saved/SaveProfiles/Default/RocksDB/[GameVersion]/Worlds/.
3. In the sidebar, go to File Manager and open /R5/ServerDescription.json.
4. Update the WorldIslandId field to match your uploaded folder name:

   "WorldIslandId": "04A4F36F41134855B3AD6FFA08FD11A1"
   

5. Save the file and Start your server.
