Enshrouded: World Save Files (Full Tutorial)

Backing Up, Sharing, and Importing Enshrouded World Saves

The process depends on whether Steam Cloud is enabled.

Check Steam Cloud

In Steam, open Enshrouded → Properties → General and check the Steam Cloud setting. Local and cloud saves are stored in different locations.

Identify and Back Up a World

Each world has two files: a main file named with a hexadecimal code and a matching _info file. Both are needed to share or transfer the world.

To back up all save data, copy the relevant Enshrouded save folder. For cloud saves, copy the remote folder.

Import a World With Steam Cloud Off

1. Copy the world’s main file and matching _info file into the local save folder.
2. If all 10 world slots are occupied, choose a world to replace and rename the incoming files to match that slot’s filenames.
3. Launch the game to confirm the imported world appears.

Import a World With Steam Cloud On

Steam Cloud may restore older files if you simply copy the save, so first create a dummy world in the slot you intend to replace.

1. Launch the game, create the dummy world, quit, and wait for Steam Cloud to finish syncing.
2. Check the files’ Date modified times to identify the dummy world’s main file and matching _info file.
3. Rename the downloaded world’s two files to match those filenames.
4. Copy the renamed files into the cloud-save folder, replacing the dummy world’s files.
5. Launch the game and confirm the imported world appears under the dummy slot.

Important Cautions

• Back up your saves before making changes.
• If all 10 slots are occupied, you must replace one.
• Check timestamps carefully to avoid overwriting the wrong world.
• Numeric filename suffixes can reflect the order in which worlds were created; they can be disregarded when identifying which files to replace.
