Where to find your Satisfactory save file

Satisfactory keeps saves as .sav files in the same Windows folder for Steam and Epic: paste the path below into File Explorer, then open the folder named with your account ID.

%LOCALAPPDATA%\FactoryGame\Saved\SaveGames

Dedicated server saves

A dedicated server on Windows keeps its saves in a folder called server:

%LOCALAPPDATA%\FactoryGame\Saved\SaveGames\server

On a rented server, download the save from your host's file manager, or through the Server Manager in the game.

See what you have left on the map

  1. Open the map.
  2. Drag your newest .sav file anywhere onto it.
  3. Wait while it reads. A 23 MB save takes 15 to 30 seconds on a desktop.
  4. Tapped nodes and collected items grey out, and Hide done removes them.

The file is read in your browser and never leaves your computer. It uses more than a gigabyte of memory while it reads, so use a desktop browser.

Questions

Where are Satisfactory save files stored?
On Windows, in %LOCALAPPDATA%\FactoryGame\Saved\SaveGames, inside a folder named with your account ID. Steam and Epic use the same path, and the files end in .sav.
Where are the backups?
In %LOCALAPPDATA%\FactoryGame\Saved\SaveGames\SaveGames_backup. A backup is made when you overwrite a save yourself, not on an autosave.
How do I see what I have collected in Satisfactory?
Drop your .sav file on the Satismaptory map. It greys out the nodes you have tapped and the items you have collected, without uploading the file.
