Uploading a save to a Space Engineers server allows players to share and preserve their in-game creations and progress. Players can invite others to explore their custom-built structures, ships, and space colonies by saving their world and uploading it to the server. It also ensures their hard work and accomplishments are safeguarded against data loss or server resets. This sharing of saves fosters a collaborative and immersive multiplayer experience, where players can join forces, collaborate on ambitious projects, and collectively shape a diverse and thriving universe.
