Save File Location [#save-file-location]

The world data is stored as a single database file:

<Files>
  <Folder name="WS" defaultOpen>
    <Folder name="Saved" defaultOpen>
      <Folder name="Worlds" defaultOpen>
        <Folder name="Dedicated" defaultOpen>
          <Folder name="Level01_Main" defaultOpen>
            <File name="world.db" />
          </Folder>
        </Folder>
      </Folder>

      <Folder name="GameplaySettings" defaultOpen>
        <File name="GameXishu.json" />
      </Folder>
    </Folder>
  </Folder>
</Files>

Finding Your Local Save [#finding-your-local-save]

On **Windows**, local saves are at:

```
%LocalAppData%\WS\<SteamID>\2646460\AutoGames\<InviteCode>\
```

The folder contains `world.db` and `GameXishu.json`.

Upload Your Save [#upload-your-save]

  </Step>

  <Step>
    Upload GameXishu.json (optional) [#upload-gamexishujson-optional]

    If you want to carry over your gameplay settings, also upload `GameXishu.json` to `WS/Saved/GameplaySettings/`.

    > If your local file has a numbered suffix (e.g., `GameXishu_2.json`), rename it to `GameXishu.json` for the server to recognize it.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Start the server [#start-the-server]

    Start from **Console**. The server loads your uploaded world.
