Sons of the Forest adds many innovative features, including a fully custom-building system that allows players to build their own structures. This massive improvement over the first game's prebuilt structures means the building has more potential than ever. Some players may want to continue creating from their dedicated server save locally. However, it's worth noting that mainly structure data will be retained when transferring saves.
Note: Saves from Dedicated Servers can only be played in local Multiplayer. Make backups locally to save any necessary files.
1. Log in to the BisectHosting Starbase panel.
2. Go to the Files tab.
3. Find the following directory: /home/container/serverconfig/Saves/DedicatedServer/Multiplayer .
4. Right-click the desired save and choose Archive.
5. After archiving, right-click the new file and choose Download.
6. Open the Run menu by pressing the Windows + R keys on the keyboard.
7. In the Open field, enter the following file path: %localappdata%low\Endnight\SonsOfTheForest\Saves .
8. Open the Multiplayer folder.
9. Unzip the archive from step 6 into the Multiplayer folder.
Any backup.zip files can be safely deleted or held for safekeeping.
10. The save will be playable next time Sons of the Forest is launched by going to Multiplayer > Continue and selecting the new save.
