How to Upload a Galaxy Save to Your Avorion Server

How to transfer an existing Avorion galaxy from singleplayer or another server to your dedicated server.

Local Save Location

Windows:

%AppData%\Avorion\galaxies\<galaxy-name>\

Linux:

~/.avorion/galaxies/<galaxy-name>/

Stop your server
In the XGamingServer Panel, click Files
Navigate to your galaxy data directory
Upload the entire galaxy folder contents (server.ini, modconfig.lua, sector data, player data)
Make sure the --galaxy-name startup parameter matches the folder name
Start your server

To create a new galaxy without deleting the old one, change --galaxy-name to a new name in Startup. A fresh galaxy generates automatically.

⚠️ Warning: Always use /save then /stop to shut down cleanly before uploading. Never force-close — this causes save corruption.
