Sons of the Forest

Load the right Sons of the Forest save slot

Save Slot identifies the dedicated server’s save. The template uses /home/container/serverconfig as its user-data directory, so default desktop paths from Windows guides are not the hosted path.

Make the change

  1. Stop the server and back up the entire serverconfig directory.
  2. Record the current Save Slot from Startup, preserving leading zeroes in the slot identifier.
  3. Inspect the saves under serverconfig and identify the slot you intend to load.
  4. Set Save Slot to that existing slot without changing the game mode or replacing files during the same test.
  5. Start and join to check a familiar structure and player state.

Check the result

If the server loads a fresh world, stop before repeatedly saving and recheck the slot and directory. Difficulty or creation settings are not a substitute for selecting the correct existing save.
