How to Upload a Save to a HumanitZ Server

Uploading a save file to a HumanitZ server ensures the persistence of the world progress within a continuous multiplayer environment. By uploading, the player allows their base building, resource depletion, and all changes made to the game world to be permanently stored and loaded for all participants. This process is essential for seamless, long-term cooperative gameplay, as it allows other players to continue interacting with the world exactly as it was last left, even when the original host or player is offline.
