Last updated
7 Days to Die stores saves in Roaming under a 7DaysToDie folder, one subfolder per game with player profiles and region data. Generated worlds live next door so custom maps travel with the saves.
Single-player worlds and local dedicated servers share the same layout. Copy the Saves folder plus GeneratedWorlds and the world is fully portable.
Where 7 Days to Die stores this, by platform
%APPDATA%\7DaysToDie\Saves
Each world gets its own folder with player data and region files. Generated worlds sit at %APPDATA%\7DaysToDie\GeneratedWorlds. Copy both folders with the game closed for a portable backup.
Frequently asked questions
How do I move a 7 Days to Die world to a server?
Copy the world folder from Saves plus its matching GeneratedWorlds entry into the server's save path. Keep game versions identical or chunks may regenerate wrong.
Why did my 7 Days to Die world reset after an update?
Major alphas change the save format and old worlds stop loading. The game warns before generating fresh regions, so back up Saves before updating.
