Enshrouded: upload your own world to the server

Keep playing your single-player or co-op world from Enshrouded on your own server: find the files, name them correctly, upload.

Already built a world in Enshrouded? Take it with you to your server.

1. Find the world on your PC

The saves are in the Steam folder:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\<number>\1203620\remote\

Inside are files with short names of numbers and letters, for example 3ad85aec and 3ad85aec-index. Each world consists of such a file, the matching -index file and possibly more with the same beginning. Which world is which you recognise by the modified date.

2. Prepare the server

  1. Create a backup under Backups.
  2. Stop the server and wait until it is "offline".
  3. Files tab → open the savegame folder. The current server world is there – on the server the files are called 3ad85aea and 3ad85aea-index. Rename them (e.g. add -old).

3. Upload and rename

  1. Upload your world files into the savegame folder.
  2. Rename them so they are called like the server world: the beginning becomes 3ad85aea – e.g. 3ad85aec → 3ad85aea and 3ad85aec-index → 3ad85aea-index.
  3. Start the server.

Your world with all buildings is then there. In Enshrouded characters belong to the player and are brought along when joining.

Good to know

  • If something goes wrong, restore the old state via Backups or give the renamed files their old names back.
  • Upload big files best via SFTP (credentials on the server page).
  • Settings like experience or enemy strength: Enshrouded settings.
