| # How to move a Valheim world save | |
| If you need to move a world save from one server to another, | |
| or from your local machine to a server, | |
| this shouldn’t be too painful ;) | |
| ## The default location that Valheim saves world files is: | |
| - Windows: %USERPROFILE%/AppData/LocalLow/IronGate/Valheim/worlds/ | |
| - Linux: ~/.config/unity3d/IronGate/Valheim/worlds/ | |
| If you have rented a server from a game server provider, | |
| double check with their support information where they store save files, | |
| as they may use a custom location. | |
| There will likely be 4 files stored for each world: | |
| - world.fwl | |
| - world.fwl.old | |
| - world.db | |
| - world.db.old | |
| Where “world” is the name of your world. | |
| If you want to double check the name of your world, | |
| you can see it in-game by pressing F2. | |
| _The .old files are backups, and not strictly necessary for the purpose of the transfer._ | |
| ## World re-nameing | |
| Do not change the name of your .fwl or .db files, as this will break things. | |
| ## FTP Transfer Modes | |
| If you are interacting with a server to upload/download files using FTP, | |
| (and you’re on Windows) using WinSCP is recommended. | |
| If you use FileZilla (or other software) instead, | |
| make sure that the file transfer type is set to BINARY. | |
| WinSCP uses binary transfer for files by default, | |
| but FileZilla may not and this has caused some issues for users. | |
| ## Steps | |
| On the source machine, locate the world save files. | |
| Take a back-up copy of these files and set aside in case anything goes wrong. | |
| On the destination machine, ensure that the -world parameter in the server | |
| start script matches the name of your world, and start the destination server. | |
| Once the destination server has completely started up, shut it down again. | |
| This will have created world files on the destination machine that you will | |
| now replace. | |
| Navigate to the worlds/ directory on the destination machine, and confirm | |
| that world files are present, with the same name as your old world files. | |
| Replace the world files on the destination machine, | |
| with those from the source machine. | |
| You can now start the server on the destination machine again, | |
| and it will load the world from the files you have just added. | |
