Foundry

Find the right FOUNDRY save after changing a world name

Server World Name identifies the save folder. Savepath controls the persistent-data location; in this server configuration its default is /home/container/serverfiles. A different name or path can select a new world while the old files still exist.

Make the change

  1. Stop the server and back up the current persistent-data directory.
  2. Record Server World Name and Savepath from Startup.
  3. In Files, inspect the save subdirectories under that persistent-data location and identify the intended world by name and modification time.
  4. Restore the previous World Name and Savepath when the goal is to continue the same factory.
  5. Start once and check the familiar factory before allowing further progress to save.

Server World NameSelects the named saved factory under Savepath. Keep the original value to continue the same world; Server Name is the browser listing.

Check the result

Do not move every save folder into a guessed Windows path. This hosted template overrides the default data location. Keep the original folder intact until the correct world has loaded.
