How to Upload a World to Your Space Engineers Server
Transfer a local Space Engineers world or save from another server to your dedicated server.
World Folder Structure
A Space Engineers world consists of several files:
| File | Purpose |
|---|---|
Sandbox.sbc | World state — all grids, characters, factions, GPS markers |
Sandbox_config.sbc | Gameplay settings (takes priority over Sandbox.sbc) |
SANDBOX_0_0_0_.sbs | Sector data |
Storage/ | Script and mod persistent data |
Finding Your Local World
On Windows, singleplayer worlds are at:
%AppData%\SpaceEngineers\Saves\<SteamID64>\Each world is its own folder.
Upload Your World
Stop the server
Go to Console in the XGamingServer Panel and stop the server.
Back up the current world
Go to Backups and create a backup.
Upload the world folder
Click Files in the sidebar. Navigate to the Saves/ directory. Delete or rename the existing world folder, then upload your world folder.
You can compress it to .zip, upload, and Unarchive in the panel.
Update the config
Open SpaceEngineers-Dedicated.cfg and update LoadWorld to point to the uploaded world path, or update WorldName to match.
Start the server
Start from Console. The server loads your uploaded world.
Warning: The game deletes unrecognized files inside the world folder on save. Never store personal backups inside the world folder — use the panel's Backups feature instead.
