Enshrouded: Upload World Save

Move a world you've played on your own PC to your DatHost server. The server runs one world, stored as a single file, so uploading a world means replacing that file.

This guide is for Enshrouded 1.0. A world from before 1.0 is converted the first time you open it in the game, so start it once in Enshrouded 1.0 before you upload it.

Find your world on your PC

1
In Enshrouded, click Play, then Start a Session. Note which tab your world is on, Savegames: Local or Savegames: Steam, and its slot number. Savegame tabs and slot numbers
2
Open the folder for that tab: paste the path into the address bar of File Explorer.
  • Savegames: Local: %USERPROFILE%\Saved Games\keen games\Enshrouded\default
  • Savegames: Steam: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata, then open the numbered folder that contains 1203620, and inside it remote.
3
Each slot is one file: slot 1 is world0.ksd, slot 2 is world1.ksd, and so on up to slot 10, world9.ksd. Copy the file for your slot to your desktop. world0.ksd and world1.ksd in the save folder
4
Rename the copy to world0.ksd, unless that's already its name. This is the name your server loads.
Only the world goes on the server. Characters are saved on each player's PC and come along when they join.

Upload it to your server

1
Stop your server in the DatHost Control Panel.
2
Open File Manager and the savegame folder. Right-click world0.ksd, choose Download file if you want to keep the current world, then Delete. Download file and Delete in the File Manager
3
With the savegame folder selected, click Upload and pick your world0.ksd. Upload into the savegame folder
4
Start your server. It loads your world.
Leave the backup and migrated folders as they are. The server keeps its own rolling backups in backup, and migrated holds the files it converted from before 1.0.

Download your server's world

To play your server's world on your own PC, do the same in reverse: stop the server, right-click savegame → world0.ksd → Download file, rename it for a free slot (for example world2.ksd for slot 3), and put it in your Local or Steam folder from above.

Troubleshooting

  • The server started a new world instead of yours: check that the file is called exactly world0.ksd and sits directly in savegame, not in backup.
  • You only have files like 3ad85aea and 3ad85aea-index: that's a world from before 1.0. Open it once in Enshrouded 1.0 so it's converted, then use the new world…ksd file.
  • Can't find the Steam folder: if Steam is installed on another drive, look in its Steam\userdata folder there.
