Your world and moving it

One world per server

An Enshrouded server holds one world, in the file savegame/world0.ksd. The server creates it at its first start, and you'll find it in the Your world table of the World tab.

• Enshrouded writes the world every 30 seconds, even with nobody on.
• Enshrouded keeps the last 10 copies of the world in the savegame/backup/ folder.
• On a normal stop, Enshrouded writes the world within a second.

Download your world

Press Download on the world's row, and you get the world0.ksd file exactly as it is on your server. If the server is running, the file is what Enshrouded wrote at most 30 seconds before.

Move a world from your PC

The world you played on your own PC is in:

%USERPROFILE%\Saved Games\keen games\Enshrouded\default

Each world there is a file named world and a number, such as world0.ksd or world1.ksd. The date the file was last changed helps you tell which world you played last.

The upload accepts only a file whose name ends in .ksd, into an empty slot, while the server is stopped, so an upload never writes over a world. So:

1. Close Enshrouded on your PC first
2. Take a backup of your server if its current world matters to you
3. Stop your server
4. If your server has a world, press Wipe the world as shown below
5. Press Upload world in the World tab and pick the .ksd file. We save it as world0.ksd whatever its name
6. Start your server, and Enshrouded opens the world you uploaded

To replace your world with another one, follow the same steps: wipe, then upload.

Wipe: a new world from scratch

Press Wipe the world on the world's row, then confirm in the window.

• A wipe never runs on a live server: if it's running, we stop it, delete the world, then start it again, and Enshrouded creates a new world. If it's stopped, it stays stopped, and the new world is created at the next start.
• Players keep their characters, because those are on their own PCs.

The world's files

You'll find the savegame folder in the Files tab. Don't change anything in it while the server is running, because Enshrouded writes to it every 30 seconds. It's easier to move the world from the Your world table.
