Where Are Aven Colony Save Files Located?
Aven Colony uses the UE4 Saved tree in LocalAppData, with config beside saves and triple cloud plus Proton coverage.
Last updated
Aven Colony follows Unreal Engine 4 conventions without surprises. An AvenColony folder in LocalAppData holds Saved with colonies plus a Config tree for settings. The name drops the space, which is why title searches miss it.
All three PC stores share the layout with their own cloud mirrors. Config edits for field of view and graphics go in the WindowsNoEditor INIs while the game is closed. Back up the whole Saved tree before major updates, since patches sometimes reset graphics options.

How do I move Aven Colony saves to a new PC?
Copy the AvenColony Saved tree to the same LocalAppData path with the game closed. Colonies and settings travel together. Cloud mirrors exist on every store, but the folder copy is exact.

Open GameUserSettings.ini under Saved\Config in the same tree, where CameraFOV and graphics toggles live. Edit while closed. The in game menu covers most options without hand editing.
