Learn how to manage and back up your RimWorld Together savegames for a smooth multiplayer experience → Find out more
In this guide, we’ll show you how to manage your RimWorld Together savegames on your game server, including backing up local and server savegames and uploading them to your server.
Moving an existing vanilla game to a RimWorld Together server with mods will likely cause gameplay issues. This is especially true when moving worlds between servers with different mods.

Navigation
To access your server files, you’ll need an FTP client such as WinSCP or FileZilla. Both are open source and free to use.
Connect with your FTP client using the credentials found in the Files tab (or FTP/SFTP access) of your game server. You can also use our FTP access guide to help you connect to your server.
Instead of accessing your files manually via FTP, you can download your current savegame with a click in the Savegame-Manager in the Savegames tab of your game server, or upload a new one using drag and drop—no FTP client needed. The FTP instructions below remain available as an alternative or for local backups.
Local savegames are those you created while hosting a multiplayer game locally on your device. You can find them in the Windows LocalLow AppData folder at the following path:
../AppData/LocalLow/Ludeon Studios/RimWorld by Ludeon Studios/Saves
You can open this path directly by pressing STRG + R at the same time and entering the following path in the Run dialog: %userprofile%/appdata/locallow/Ludeon Studios/RimWorld by Ludeon Studios/Saves. Just click OK to open the folder.
You’ll find all your local savegames here.
Backing up your savegame from the server is easy. Once you’ve connected to your game server using an FTP client, navigate to this path:
../rimworld-together/Saves
You should see folders representing individual savegames. Just right-click the folder and select Download to save it locally on your device.
We automatically back up your game server every day. With the ZapX Pass, you can also create, restore, and download your own backups at any time in the Backups tab of your game server. With ZapX Pass Pro, you can even schedule automatic backups. For more information, see our dedicated Backups guide.
As with backing up, uploading your savegame is easy. First, connect to your game server using an FTP client. Then navigate to this path:
../rimworld-together/Saves
Simply drag and drop one of your savegames into this folder in your FTP client to upload it to your server.
As mentioned at the beginning of this guide, moving worlds between servers with different mods will likely cause gameplay issues.
